Percentage Basics
The Latin word per centum, which means “by the hundred,” is where “percent” originates. The percentage means, the proportion per hundred (out of 100). It is represented with the symbol ‘%’.
(Part/Whole)*100 = Percentage
For example, if you had ₹2000 and spent ₹500, How much did you spend percentage-wise?
Simple maths =500/2000*100 gives you the result, which is 25%.
