To calculate the original number from a percentage, you can use the following formula:
Original Number=Percentage value divided by Percentage ×100
Where:
- Percentage Value is the number you have after applying the percentage.
- Percentage is the percentage rate expressed as a whole number (e.g., 20% should be written as 20, not 0.20).
Example:
If you know that 50 is 20% of the original number, you can calculate the original number as follows:
Original Number=50 divided by 20×100=250
So, the original number is 250.
