Imagine you have a bowl of gummy bears. You grab 15 of them, but the whole bowl holds 60. What percentage did you steal? Your greedy paws got 15 out of 60—now we just turn that into “out of 100.”
Here is the golden rule: Divide the part by the whole. That means you do 15 ÷ 60 = 0.25. Easy, right? You just made a decimal appear out of thin air.
Now, the magic touch: multiply that decimal by 100. 0.25 times 100 equals 25. Slap a percentage sign on it, and boom—you ate 25% of the candy. See? You’re a percentage wizard already.
