How do you subtract one sum from another to come up with a percentage 165-33 =?%?
Answer:
I don't know how people are coming up with the answers they are giving, here.
If I understand your question correctly, you are asking the following question: "If I subtract 33 from 165, what percentage of 165 will that difference be?"
In order to solve this problem, you subtract 33 from 165, giving you 132 as your answer. Then, in order to find out what percentage of 165 is 132, you divide 132 by 165 (written 132/165). The answer is 0.8. Multiply 0.8 by 100, to get the percentage (which is 80%).
So the formula should be written this way:
((165-33)/165) * 100 = 80
The reason you multiply the whole thing by 100 is because 0.8 (the answer) is actually equal to 80%, and in order to get 80 from 0.8, you have to multiply by 100.
you don't; percentages are rates. 33/165= .2121 = approx. 21%
you dont subtract you multiply. so first you use decimal form so 165.00 x 33.00 = %54.45 so 33 taken away from 165 is %54.45
if I understand your question
the formula would look like
(165-33)/33
The answer would be 400%
