I am trying to determine
what percent one number is of another. What is the formula?
Specifically: What percent of 100,000 is 629.77?
Thanks,
Ask yourself, what fraction is 1000,000 of 629.77? The answer is
629.77/100,000 = 0.0062977
To express this as a percentage you ask, what part of 100 is this? That is
0.0062977
100 = 0.62977
Thus 0.62977 percent of 100,000 is 629.77.
