How to work out percentages - Step by Step
Here are the solutions to the questions stated above:
1) What is 1.1% of 500?
Always use this formula to find a percentage:
% / 100 = Part / Whole replace the given values:
1.1 / 100 = Part / 500
Cross multiply:
1.1 x 500 = 100 x Part, or
550 = 100 x Part
Now, divide by 100 and get the answer:
Part = 550 / 100 = 5.5
2) What is 1.1 out of 500?
This question is equivalent to: "1.1 is what percent of 500?" Or What percent 1.1 is out of 500?
Use again the same percentage formula:
% / 100 = Part / Whole replace the given values:
% / 100 = 1.1 / 500
Cross multiply:
% x 500 = 1.1 x 100
Divide by 500 to get the percentage:
% = (1.1 x 100) / 500 = 0.22%
A shorter way to calculate x out of y
You can easily find 1.1 is out of 500, in one step, by simply dividing 1.1 by 500, then multiplying the result by 100. So,
1.1 is out of 500 = 1.1/500 x 100 = 0.22%
