FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a percentage?

A percentage expresses a number as a fraction of 100, making it easier to compare proportions. The symbol for percentage is "%" (pronounced as "per cent"). For example, if a group contains 200 students and 50 of them are girls, the percentage of girls is:
Percentage of girls = (50 / 200) * 100 = 25%

How do you calculate a percentage?

To calculate a percentage, divide the part by the whole, then multiply by 100. The formula is:
Percentage = (Part / Whole) * 100

Example: To find the percentage of students who passed an exam (90 out of 120), use:
Percentage = (90 / 120) * 100 = 75%

Another example: To find a product's price after a 20% discount on AED 200, calculate:
Discount = (20 / 100) * 200 = AED 40
Final price = 200 - 40 = AED 160
