Whats the formula to find out what percent a number is?
You can easily convert the words into a formula: “21” –> 21 “is” –> = “38 percent” –> 38/100 “of” –> * “some number” –> N 21 = 38/100 * N Now if you solve for N, you get: N = 21 / (38/100) N = 21 * 100 / 38 N = 55.2631579 That’s not a very good example, because they usually come out with a round number, but you get the idea.
