## Overview

40% of 250 is 100. Find 10% of 250 (which is 25) and multiply by 4 to reach 40%: 25 × 4 = 100. As a decimal it is 0.40 × 250 = 100. Use the calculator below for any percentage of any number, plus change and difference.

## Method

Each mode uses a direct formula. "What is X% of Y" computes (X / 100) × Y. "X is what % of Y" computes (X / Y) × 100, requiring Y ≠ 0. "X is P% of what" solves for the base as X / (P / 100), requiring P ≠ 0. Percentage change is ((new − old) / |old|) × 100, signed, requiring the old value ≠ 0. Percentage difference is |A − B| / ((|A| + |B|) / 2) × 100, order-independent, requiring the two values not both be zero. "Add / subtract a percent" gives base × (1 + p / 100) and base × (1 − p / 100). All formulas follow standard mathematical definitions as documented on MathIsFun.
