percentage of rational numbers is calculated by multiplying by hundred.

when you want to reflect something as a percentage of something

say like finding the profit percentage

you divide the profit by 100

and the resultant rational number you multiply by hundred

profit%=(profit/cost price)*100
If using a calculator, input the number that you want the percentage of then multiply it by whatever percent you want then push the percent key. For example 20% of $80 = $16

You would input 80 x 20% and you get 16. You can also do it as 80 x .20=16. If you are not using a calculator you just move over to decimal places to the left for the number that is the percent. For example: 30%=.30 75%=.75 and so on.
