Four percentage questions, answered

What is P% of N?

Multiply and divide by 100: P% of N = N × P ÷ 100. Useful for discounts, tips, interest, and marks.

What % is A of B?

Divide the part by the total: (A ÷ B) × 100. Useful for tests scored, attendance, and completion.

% change and % difference

Change is anchored to the old value ((new − old) ÷ old × 100); difference compares two values against their average — the right tool when neither is the baseline.

Percentage FAQ

How do I work out what a percentage of a number is?

Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. For 15% of 800: (800 × 15) ÷ 100 = 120. The "What is P% of N?" mode does exactly this.

How do I convert a fraction to a percentage?

Divide the top by the bottom and multiply by 100. ⅘ → (4 ÷ 5) × 100 = 80%. The "What % is A of B?" mode applies the same rule to any two numbers.

Why can't I enter a zero in "% change"?

Percent change divides by the old value, and a zero old value has no meaningful percentage. Switch to "% difference A vs B" for that comparison.
