Tips and common mistakes

Three common questions, three formulas

To find what percentage one number is of another, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the percentage and divide by 100. For a percentage increase or decrease, divide the change by the original number and multiply by 100.

Percentage points and percent are not the same

If a rate goes from 10% to 12%, it rose by 2 percentage points, which is a 20% increase relative to the starting rate. Mixing these up is a very common mistake.
