Answer by spacewolf(2)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When the word "percent" is used, it just means a certain number out of "100" and its u. The general formula for solving percents is the following:
percent = x/100
Here's how you figure out a percent value based on the example you mentioned in your question, "What percent of 98 is 75?":
"98" is your starting number
"75" is the amount out 98 that you have
"x/100" is going to be the percent value
98 * (x/100) = 75 {In math, the general rule is that when you hear the word "of", multiplication is usually involved}
95x = 75*100
x = 7500/95
x = 78.95
Presto: "75" is approximately 79% of "98". Hope this helps.
