We call the first number (2) a numerator and the second number (5) a denominator because this is a fraction. To calculate the percentage, multiply this fraction by 100 and add a percent sign. 100 * numerator / denominator = percentage . In our example it’s 100 * 2/5 = 100 * 0.4 = 40 .

1. Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.
2. P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.
3. Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.

Calculate Percentage Decrease: First, work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Next, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

Learning how to calculate the percentage of one number vs. another number is easy. If you want to know what percent A is of B, you simple divide A by B, then take that number and move the decimal place two spaces to the right. That’s your percentage!
