The total number of a percentage is calculated by dividing the resulting number of the percentage by the percentage divided by 100. The number of percentages divided by 100, is the process of converting percentage to decimal number, so we can say the total number of a percentage is equal to the resulting number of the percentage divided by the decimal number of percentage.
Formula:
X is Y percent of Z
Z = X ÷ ( Y ÷ 100 )
Example:
5 is 10 percent of Z
5 ÷ ( 10 ÷ 100 ) = 50
