How to calculate percentage with a SQL statement

To calculate the percentage in a SQL statement, use the formula:

sql
(Part / Total) * 100

For example, if you have a table sales with columns amount and total_sales, you can calculate the percentage of sales for each record:

sql
SELECT amount,
(amount / total_sales) * 100 AS sales_percentage
FROM sales;

This query divides the amount by total_sales, multiplies the result by 100, and returns the sales percentage. Make sure total_sales is not zero to avoid division errors. You can also round the result using the ROUND() function for better presentation.
