Okay, back to the good stuff! To calculate a percentage, you can use a simple formula: (part/whole) x 100. Just plug in the numbers, and voila! You'll have your percentage in no time.
For instance, let's say you want to calculate the percentage increase in the price of a stock. If the original price was $100, and the new price is $120, you'd use the formula to get: ((120-100)/100) x 100 = 20%. Not too shabby, right?
