this is not algebra. I just need to know how to find a percentage of something.
20% of %5.00 = 0.2 * 5
to find a percentage you do this
X-number given
Y-total number
(X/Y)*100
so for example (25/50)*100= 50%
you can also think of it this way 50*.50=25
$5.00 (not %5.00)
To find a percentage of something, you need to multiply the value by the percentage expressed as a decimal or fraction. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal or fraction: Divide the percentage by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the left. For example, 25% can be converted to 0.25 or 1/4.
2. Multiply the decimal or fraction by the value you want to find the percentage of. For example, if you want to calculate 25% of 80, you would multiply 0.25 by 80, which equals 20.
So, 25% of 80 is 20.
