Percentage formulas

"Per cent" means "per hundred", so every percentage problem is a small rearrangement of the same relationship: part = whole × percent ÷ 100.

  • X% of Y: Y × X ÷ 100. Example: 20% of 150 = 30.
  • X is what % of Y: X ÷ Y × 100. Example: 30 is 25% of 120.
  • Percentage change: (new − old) ÷ |old| × 100. Going from 80 to 100 is a 25% increase.
  • Increase / decrease by X%: Y × (1 ± X ÷ 100). 200 increased by 15% is 230.

Why isn't a 10% rise followed by a 10% fall back to the start?

Because the second percentage is taken of a different base. 100 → 110 (+10%) → 99 (−10% of 110). This is also why percentage change and percentage points are different: a rate moving from 4% to 5% is a 1 percentage-point rise but a 25% increase.
