Percentages are central to countless real-world applications—from calculating exam marks to determining discounts and interest rates. The general formula to find a percentage is: (Part / Whole) × 100%. However, if you already know the rate and the whole, use Percentage of a Number = (Rate ÷ 100) × Whole. For example, to calculate 20% of 150, convert 20% to 0.20, then multiply: 0.20 × 150 = 30. This concept is pivotal in areas like finance and data analysis, so practice by computing percentages for tips in restaurants, taxes on shopping bills, or proportionate contributions in group projects. Mastering this skill builds a strong foundation for advanced percentage operations such as percentage increase, decrease, and compound interest calculations.
