What is Percentage?

A percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. The word "percent" comes from the Latin per centum, meaning "by the hundred." Percentages are used everywhere — from calculating discounts and tax to tracking exam scores and profit margins. When you say "25%", it simply means 25 out of 100.

How to Calculate Percentage — Formulas Explained

1. Percentage of a Number

To find X% of Y, multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100.

Result = (X × Y) ÷ 100

Example: 10% of 500 = (10 × 500) ÷ 100 = 50

2. Percentage Increase or Decrease

To find how much a value has increased or decreased in percentage terms.

Change % = ((New Value − Original Value) ÷ Original Value) × 100

Example: Price increased from ₹100 to ₹120. Change = ((120 − 100) ÷ 100) × 100 = +20%

3. Percentage Difference

To find the relative difference between two values, neither of which is the reference point.

Difference % = |A − B| ÷ ((A + B) ÷ 2) × 100

Example: Values 80 and 120. Difference = |80 − 120| ÷ ((80 + 120) ÷ 2) × 100 = 40 ÷ 100 × 100 = 40%
