How to Calculate Percentage

How to Calculate Percentage

 

To calculate a percentage, follow these steps:

Determine the value you want to calculate the percentage of. Let's call this value the "base value."

Determine the percentage you want to calculate. Let's call this percentage the "rate."

Multiply the base value by the rate and divide it by 100.

 Example: If you want to calculate 25% of 80:

Rate = 25

Base value = 80

Percentage = (80 * 25) / 100 = 20

So, 25% of 80 is 20.

 Alternatively, you can use the following formula:

Percentage = (Part / Whole) * 100

In this formula, the "part" refers to the value you want to calculate the percentage of, and the "whole" refers to the total value.

 Example: If you want to calculate what percentage 20 is of 80:

Percentage = (20 / 80) * 100 = 25%

So, 20 is 25% of 80.

How to Calculate Percentage from CGPA

To calculate a percentage from CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average), you can use the following steps:

Determine the maximum CGPA achievable in your system. This information is usually provided by your educational institution. Let's call this value "Max CGPA."

Determine your CGPA. Let's call this value "Your CGPA."

Divide your CGPA by the Max CGPA.

Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Percentage = (Your CGPA / Max CGPA) * 100

For example, let's say the maximum CGPA in your system is 10, and your CGPA is 8.5. To calculate the percentage:

Percentage = (8.5 / 10) * 100 = 85%

So, your CGPA of 8.5 corresponds to a percentage of 85%

How to Calculate Percentage in Excel

To calculate a percentage in Excel, you can use the following formula:

=(Value/Total)*100

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1.       1. Enter the value you want to calculate the percentage of in a cell. Let's say this value is in cell A1.

2.       2. Enter the total value or reference to the total value in another cell. Let's say the total value is in cell B1.

3.       3. In a different cell, enter the formula mentioned above, replacing "Value" with the cell reference of the value and "Total" with the cell reference of the total value.

For example, if your value is in cell A1 and the total value is in cell B1, you would enter the formula in cell C1 as:

= (A1/B1)*100

Press Enter to get the calculated percentage.

Excel will automatically perform the division and multiplication operations, giving you the percentage as the result.
