What is the Excel formula for percentage?

 To calculate percentages in Excel, you can use a few different formulas depending on what you need:

Percentage of a Number:

To find what percentage one number is of another number, use the formula:

mathematica

= (Part / Whole) * 100

For example, if you want to find out what percentage 30 is of 150, you would enter:

scss

= (30 / 150) * 100

This would give you 20%.

To find the percentage of a total, use:

mathematica

= (Part / Total) * 100

For instance, if you want to know what percentage $25 is of $200, use:

scss

= (25 / 200) * 100

This will give you 12.5%.

Converting a Decimal to Percentage:

If you have a decimal and want to convert it to a percentage, you can simply multiply by 100 or use the percentage format. For example, if you have 0.75 and want to convert it to a percentage:

= 0.75 * 100

This will result in 75%. Alternatively, you can format the cell as a percentage by selecting the cell, then clicking the percentage format button on the Home tab.

Remember that if you format a cell as a percentage, you only need to enter the decimal value (e.g., 0.25 for 25%). Excel will automatically display it as a percentage.
