- To express a quantity as a percent with respect to another quantity, the following formula is used: [ (the quantity to be expressed in percent) / (2nd quantity{in respect of which the percent has to be obtained}) * 100]
- Percentages can be compared more easily than fractions. A percent can always be written as a decimal and a decimal can be written as a percent. The term percentage or symbol % is used frequently in day-to-day practices.
