Expert Solution
Step 1

The calculation of percentage is very significant in arithmetic. When we want to find a percent of a given number, we multiply the number by the percent amount and divide it by 100. To convert a number into percent, we multiply the number by 100. The base of percent calculation is always assumed as 100. To calculate percent is to calculate the number out of 100.
