Simple Calculator
When you want to go about calculating percentages simply read below and you will understand how simple it is to do. If you want a simple way then use our percentage calculator tool.
Percent simply means ‘per hundred’. The symbol 50% is read ‘fifty percent’ and simply means 50 out of 100. It is useful to be able to understand that a percent/percentage can be converted to a fraction and a decimal. 50% also mean 50/100 which can be reduced to 1/2 and 0.50 when written as a decimal
To change a fraction into a decimal or a percent:
Begin with 5/8. Take your calculator (or pencil and paper) in hand and divide 5 by 8 to get 0.625, now you need to move the decimal over one place for the percent. Thus 5/8 = 0.625 and 62.5/100
Percentage Calculator – Applying the equation
Simply Applying what you know to the equation:
You see an item that is $50.00, but it is being reduced by 15%. First you must decide what the amount is that is going to be deducted from $50.00 To do this you will need to multiply 50.009 by .15 (you need to convert 15% to a decimal). The answer is 7.5, now you will need to subtract $7.50 from $50.00, you will be paying $42.50 for the item that is on sale.
