[barry1010]

I know it is very easy, especially with calculators but I am blind to maths, so please help with this simple calculation.

What per centage of 3604 is 923?

Thanks to you all, even though you are laughing

25.61%
923 divided by 3604 multiplied by 100%

Just less than 26

923 divided by 3604 equals 0.256104. Multiply that by 100 to convert it to a percentage and you get 25.6104%. That's roughly a quarter. As a quick check, if you divide 3604 by 4 you get 901, so in the same ball park.

to help you visualise, you are attempting to see how much of 3604 goes into 923 so it's 923/3604 which is 0.256, then multiply that by 100 to get the percentage, 25.6.

with calculators ( if you are helping children) then you should always check roughly - this used to be taught in skools and here it is around 1000 / 4000 - a quarter which everyone kno is 25%

[woofgang]
