How the Calculation Works

Common percentage formulas:

1. What is X% of Y?

Result = (X / 100) × Y

Example: 20% of 150 = (20/100) × 150 = 30

2. X is what % of Y?

Percentage = (X / Y) × 100

Example: 30 is what % of 150? = (30/150) × 100 = 20%

3. Percentage Change

Change = [(New - Old) / Old] × 100

Example: From 100 to 120 = [(120-100)/100] × 100 = 20% increase
