Percentage Formulas
1. Percentage of a Number
Formula: Result = (Percentage × Number) / 100
Example: 20% of 150 → (20 × 150) / 100 = 30
2. X is What Percent of Y
Formula: Percent = (X / Y) × 100
Example: 45 is what percent of 90? → (45/90) × 100 = 50%
3. Percentage Increase / Decrease
Formula: Change = ((New - Old) / Old) × 100
Positive result = increase; negative = decrease.
Example: From 80 to 100 → ((100-80)/80) × 100 = +25% increase
