Essential Percentage Mathematical Formulas & Principles
The core mathematical formulas used across personal finance, retail, and business operations.
| Calculation Scenario | Mathematical Formula | Practical Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1. B% of A (Basic Percentage) | A × (B ÷ 100) | 15% of $10,000 = $1,500 |
| 2. A is what % of B (Proportion) | (A ÷ B) × 100 | 6 out of 30 units = 20% |
| 3. A changed by B% (Value Change) | A × (1 ± B ÷ 100) | $50,000 + 10% raise = $55,000 |
| 4. Percent Change from A to B | ((B - A) ÷ A) × 100 | $1,000 to $1,500 = +50% |
| 5. Retail Discount Price | Original Price × (1 - Discount ÷ 100) | $80 item with 25% off = $60 |
Shopping Discounts & Sales Tax (VAT) Calculation Tips
Practical calculation shortcuts for smart shopping and retail estimating.
Mental Math for Discounts
To calculate a 20% discount, multiply the original price by 0.8. Example: $30 × 0.8 = $24.
Sales Tax & VAT (10%) Calculations
To add 10% tax, multiply the pre-tax subtotal by 1.1. To extract pre-tax value from total, divide by 1.1.
