Step 1: 9/360 x 5700 = 142.5.

Step 2: 8/360 x 8550 = 190.

Step 3: Percentage => 142.5/190 x 100 = 75%.

Can you explain how it comes 9*5700/8%8550*100 (plz justify 8% of 8550)
Hardik said:   1 decade ago
10%-1% = 9%.

So,
5700*10% = 570.
5700*1% = 57.

570-57 = 513 or 5700*9/100 = 513.

9% of 5700 - 8%of 8550*100 = 75%.

9% of 5700 becomes 9% x 5700. But, 8% of 8550 remains the same. Why?

10 percentage of 5700 is 570 how to calculate 9 percentage quickly?
Gajanan Naik said:   1 decade ago
(9% of 5700)/(8% of 8550)*100 = ((9/100)*5700)/((8/100)*8550)*100.

= (9*5700)/(8*8550)*100 = 0.75*100 = 75%

Can you give some formula to calculate percentage easily like.

I divide 9*5700/8*8550 then it comes finally 57/76, to this its a lengthy process. Give some sort calculation formula.
