Count the number of digits (d) to the right of the decimal point of the decimal number.Example: 2.56 has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point, so d=2.
Calculate the factor (f) for making the decimal number an integer:
f = 10 to power d
Example: f = 10 power 2 = 100
Multiply and divide the decimal number x by the factor f:
x * f / f = y / f
Example:
2.56 * 100 / 100 = 256 / 100
Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the fraction.
Example:
gcd(256,100) = 4
Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the gcd value:
Example:
256 / 100 = (256/4) / (100/4) = 64/25
Example
One percent is equal to one hundredth:
1% = 1/100
So in order to convert percent to fraction, divide the percent by 100% and reduce the fraction.
For example 56% is equal to 56/100 with gcd=4 is equal to 14/25:
56% = 56/100 = 14/25
On calculators you do not usually get percents. Instead, you get values which can be converted to a percent. For example what percent is 245 out of 987. You divide 245/987=.248. This is essentially the same as saying 24.8 percent. You move the decimal over 2 values. You can also round to get a nice percent number such as 25 percent. If you are trying to put in a percent lets say you have to find 47% of 80. You just multiply .47 * 80= 38.4
A percentage increase from a value a to a value b is defined as Percent increase=(b-a)/a*100 percent. In your case it is (200-70)/70=1.857. Multiply this number by 100 and append the percent symbol. Thus increase=185.7 percent or about 186 percent.
Say you want to know what percent x is of y (or To find out x is what percent of y). We take x / y and times 100. Depending on what x and y are this might not always be a whole number, we could round the number off to a whole number. An example: 81 is what percent of 135? To solve this take (81 / 135) * 100 = (0.6) * 100 = 60 percent.
The keyboard of the typewriter differs from country to country to adjust to special characters used in its language.
In the standard US keyboard the percent sign is in number 5 key. To insert the percent symbol you would use right or left [SHIFT] + number 5 key , provided you are using the standard daisywheel,

To figure out the percent, you simply divide your number by 100. Or, multiply your number by .xx (xx being whatever percent you want to find).
For example, if I want to know what 20% of 50 is, I would enter this:
.20 x 50 =
The answer is 10. So, 10 is 20% of 50.
As for the divide button, look for a "/".
