What Is X% of Y?

Use:

Example:

20% of 150

= (20 ÷ 100) × 150

= 30

What is the percentage of x to y?

Use:

Percentage = (X ÷ Y) × 100

Percentage Increase

Use:

Percentage increase = (new value – original value / original value) x 100

Example:

Original value = 100

New value = 125

((125 − 100) ÷ 100) × 100 = 25%

Example:

Original value = 100

New value = 75

((100 − 75) ÷ 100) × 100 = 25%
