Frequently asked questions

How do I find what percentage one number is of another?

Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. For 5 out of 20 that is (5 / 20) x 100 = 25%.

What is the difference between increase and difference?

Increase starts from a base value. Percentage difference uses the average of the two values as the base, so it is symmetric.
