what is an equation for finding %
x / 100 = part / whole
If your part is let's say 20 and the whole is 40 you need to find the percent right?
x / 100 = 20 / 40
40 / 40 x = 400 / 40
0 10
the percentage is not 10 it is 50%
x / 100 =part / whole
x / 100 = 0.5
Cross multiply
x =100 x 0.5 =50% - what you want.
