Percents (%)
When we say "Percent" we are really saying "per 100"
One percent (1%) means 1 per 100.
1% of this line is shaded green: it is very small isn't it?
| 50% means 50 per 100 (50% of this box is green) | |
| 25% means 25 per 100 (25% of this box is green) | |
Try it Yourself:
numbers/images/ani-pct.js
Examples:
100% means all Example: 100% of 80 is 100100 × 80 = 80 | ||
50% means half Example: 50% of 80 is 50100 × 80 = 40 | ||
5% means 5100ths Example: 5% of 80 is 5100 × 80 = 4 |
Using Percent
numbers/images/percentage.js
Use the slider and try some different numbers
(What is 40% of 80?
What is 10% of 200? What is 90% of 10?)
Because "Percent" means "per 100" think:
"this should be divided by 100"
So 75% really means 75100
And 100% is 100100, or exactly 1
(100% of any number is just the number, unchanged)
And 200% is 200100, or exactly 2
(200% of any number is twice the number)
