Percent means 'out of 100' - it is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100. Convert the percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left. For example, to convert 25% to a decimal, you would move the decimal point two places to the left to get 0.25. Multiply the decimal by the whole number. For example, if you want to find 25% of 80, you would multiply 0.25 by 80 to get 20. So, using this method, the calculation for finding 25% of 80 would look like this: Percentage = Percent as Decimal x Whole Number Percentage = 0.25 x 80 Percentage = 20
