Frequently asked questions
What is 80 with 25% off?
60, because 80 × (1 − 0.25) = 60. You save 20.
How do I calculate X% of a number?
Multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100. For example, 20% of 150 is 150 × 20 ÷ 100 = 30.
How do I work out percentage change?
Subtract the old value from the new one, divide by the old value and multiply by 100. Going from 80 to 100 is (100 − 80) ÷ 80 × 100 = +25%.
Why isn't a 10% rise followed by a 10% fall back to the start?
Because the second percentage applies to a different base. 100 + 10% = 110, and 110 − 10% = 99.
