Frequently Asked Questions
Everything teachers, homeschoolers, and students need to know about percentages and consumer financial math.
How do you calculate a percentage of a number?
To find a percentage of a number: 1) Convert the percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100 (e.g. 25% = 0.25), and 2) Multiply the decimal by the number (e.g. 0.25 ร $80 = $20).
What is the percentage increase/decrease formula?
Percentage Change = ((New Value - Old Value) รท Old Value) ร 100%. If the answer is positive, it is a percentage increase. If negative, it is a percentage decrease.
How do you calculate sales tax on an item?
Multiply the item price by the sales tax rate in decimal form (e.g., $50 item with 8% tax: $50 ร 0.08 = $4 tax). Then add the tax to the original price to get the total cost ($50 + $4 = $54).
What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest?
Simple interest (I = Prt) is calculated only on the initial principal balance. Compound interest (A = P(1 + r/n)โฟแต) is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous compounding periods, leading to exponential growth over time.
