450 is 15% of 3000.
0.5% of 3000 is 15.
% simply means out of 100.
15/100 * 3000 = 450;
0.5/100 * 3000 = 15;
The equations through most of these emails have been right. Nobody seems to
actually be reading them.

True, true. One should think before they speak..
My question wasn't to try and relearn what I already had known,
but in working on my calculator, I kept trying equations.
I tried 15/3000 * 100 and it kept coming out 0.05
I tried 15*3000 / 100 and it came out 450,
so I was a little baffled.. I k

Holy crap. Was there seriously just a thread about how to solve a percent value
of a number?
I've heard that education in America was bad, but this is like 7th grade
pre-Algebra.
x * y = z
Therefore:
x = z / y
3000 * y = 450
y = 450 / 3000
y = 0.15 or 15%

that might be a bit confusing with just words. so 15% of 3000 is:
0.15*3000=450; and 450 as a percentage of 3000 is: (450/3000)*100=15;

that's not finding out the percentage, you know the percentage, 15%. 15%
means, 15 in every hundred right?
so 15% of $3000 you find like this...
(3000/100) * 15 = 450
(total/100) * percent = amount
in plain english, first you need to divide the total by 100, to get 1% of
3000, 1 in every 100 of
No, that makes TOTAL sense.
but why does 15/3000*100 = 0.5?
15% of $3,000 dollars is not 5ยข its $450

you are talking about two different equations. one to find out how much in
percent a given amount is of a given total; the other to find out an amount

Hmmm, thats interesting then.
I did a search on google for "15 percent of 3000" and it came back
with 450.
I am thinking google doesn't have it wrong, but whoo knows.
When I run the script with those parameters, it equates correctly
15 * 3000 / 100 = 450 (15% of 3000)
however 15 / 3000 * 100 =

Hello,
I have been asked to see if I can set up an online calculator.
I was wondering if anyone had some pointers on where I can lear/find
a script that calculates percentages.
The regular math part I think I can figure out.
