When to use percentage calculator
Percentage questions have different denominators. Finding 15% of 80 multiplies 80 by 0.15; finding what percent 12 is of 80 divides 12 by 80. A change from 80 to 100 uses the original 80 as the denominator. Select the operation that matches the question and read the displayed explanation with the result.
