Question: how to calculate percentage of x?
Answer: Written as an equation: P% * X = Y. The 'what' is P% that we want to solve for. Divide both sides by X to get P% on one side of the equation. (P% * X) ÷ X = Y ÷ X becomes P% = Y ÷ X. Solution: Solve for P% using the percentage formula. P% = Y ÷ X.
