Calculating the value of a percentage from a number can be tricky, but with our tool it is easier than ever. The steps to using our tool include:
Lets say we need to crunch some numbers and need some help doing so. We will be using this tool to help us find the percent of certain numbers. First, we need to find what 34% of 750 is. We can do this by entering 34 in the first field on the left. Now we have to enter 750 into the 2nd field on the right. We can hit calculate now to find that 34% of 750 is 255.
We have one more problem. We now need to find what 134% of 1,450 is. To do this we will enter 134 into the first field on the left, then we will enter 1,450 into the field on the right. We can now hit calculate and find that 134% of 1,450 is 1,943.
Yes, percentages can be greater than 100. A percentage greater than 100 means that the portion is more than the whole. For example, if you have doubled an amount, you have increased it by 100%.
Percentages are widely used in finance to calculate interest rates, discounts, and tax rates; in education to determine grades; in business to calculate profit margins; and in everyday life to calculate tips at restaurants.
