Formula and example

How it is calculated

W = G × p / 100; p = W / G × 100; G = W × 100 / p

Worked example

12% of 250 is 30. Conversely, 30 is exactly 12% of 250.

Things to check

  • Each mode uses two of the three inputs. When finding the original whole, the percentage rate must be non-zero.
Check your understanding

Can you apply the calculation?

1. What is 15% of 200?
2. A value rises from 80 to 100. What is the percentage increase?
3. 20% off, then another 10% off: what is the total discount?
