Ratios, proportions and simple percentages

How it works

One percent is one hundredth. A ratio can be described as a fraction or with a colon. Equivalent ratios arise by multiplying both numbers by the same factor.

Note
p %=p/100; Proportion=(Part/Whole)·100 %.

An example

How much is 90 % of 300? Give only the sought number.

Divide the percentage rate by 100 and multiply by 300. Result: 270.
