its hard to explain, but you know how you see the statistics of something like 1 in 100 people are sociopaths, i have a percent number i need to turn into that format but don't know the formula
"percent" means per hundred
so say you had 24%
that would be 24 over 100
= 24/100
now reduce that to lowest terms
= 6/25
which would translate to something like 6 out of 25 people like strawberry ice-cream
same thing,
0.003% = .003/100
= 3/100000 , I multiplied top and bottom by 1000
so it would be 3 out of 100,000 would be ...... (whatever)
suppose you had 36.5%
that would be 36.5/100 = 365/1000 = 73/200
or 73 out of 200 .....
what if my number is in the decimals, for example %0.003
To convert a number into a percentage format, you can use the following formula:
Percentage = (Number / Total) * 100
In this formula, "Number" refers to the specific value you want to convert into a percentage, and "Total" represents the total value or population size that the number is a part of.
For example, let's say you have a number, X, and you want to express it as a percentage of a total population of Y:
Percentage = (X / Y) * 100
Now, to address your specific question about sociopaths, if you know the percentage of sociopaths out of a given population, you can use this formula to determine the actual number of sociopaths in that population:
Number of sociopaths = (Percentage / 100) * Total population
For instance, if you have a population of 10,000 and the percentage of sociopaths is 1%, the calculation would be:
Number of sociopaths = (1 / 100) * 10,000 = 100
Therefore, in a population of 10,000, there would be an estimated 100 sociopaths.
