How it is computed

x% of y = y × x ÷ 100. To find a percentage not in the table, add columns: 35% is 25% plus 10%, and 1% is the number divided by 100.

FAQ

Is x% of y the same as y% of x?+

Yes. 8% of 50 equals 50% of 8, both are 4, because y × x ÷ 100 is the same product either way.

How do I find 10% in my head?+

Move the decimal point one place left: 10% of 85 is 8.5. Halve that for 5%, double it for 20%.
