Calculator of Percentages

The calculation of what percentage a number \(D\) is of another number \(X\) is quite simple, and involves some elementary operations.

How Do You Compute a Percentage

We compute the required percentage by simply using the following formula:

\[\text{Percentage} = \displaystyle\frac{D}{X} \times 100\]

Simple as that. You take the value of the number \(D\) and you divide it by \(X\). Then, the result of that division you multiply by 100 and you get the desired percentage.

Example of a percentage calculator

Example: What percentage is 13 of 38?

Using the above formula, we get:

\[\text{Percentage} = \displaystyle\frac{13}{38} \times 100\] \[ = 0.342105263 \times 100\] \[ = 34.21 \%\]

Is This Related to a Fraction to Percentage Calculator?

Absolutely, this is related to computing fraction to percentage . In a way, it is the same thing. Indeed, in this case, all we are doing is checking what is the fraction \(\frac{D}{X}\) as a percentage.

Or in other words, compute what percentage is \(D\) of \(X\) is the same as computing what percentage corresponds to the fraction \(\frac{D}{X}\).
