What is 1/3 of 300

Menu

• p% of A = ?
• p% of ? = A
• ?% of A = B
• fractions a/b = ?%
• relative change
• p% = ? number
• (1 + p%) × n
• (1 - p%) × n

Percentage of 300% of 1 = ?

Detailed calculations and final verification of the result

A brief introduction:

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

300% = 300 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

300% = 300/100 = 300 ÷ 100

What does it mean to calculate the percentage of a number?

300% of 1 = ?

... is equivalent to multiplying them:

300% × 1 = ?

The calculation of the percentage:

300% of 1 =

300% × 1 =

300/100 × 1 =

(300 ÷ 100) × 1 =

300 × 1 ÷ 100 =

300 ÷ 100 =

3

The proof of the calculations

How do we check the result?

If 300% × 1 = 3 =>

Divide 3 by 1...

... And see if we get as a result: 300%

A quick note:

100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 100% = 1

Multiply a number by the fraction 100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.

n/100 = n%, for any number.

The calculation of the percentage value:

We will prove below that the calculations are correct.

3 ÷ 1 =

3 =

3 × 100/100 =

(3 × 100)/100 =

300/100 =

300%

The answer:

Percentage of 300% of 1 = 3

The symbols used: % percent, ÷ division, × multiplication, = the equal sign, / the fraction bar, ≈ approximately the same. Writing numbers: comma ',' - as a thousands separator, point '.' as a decimal mark.

Percent. Percentages.

Percent

• Percent is one hundredth of a given amount, is an amount calculated with reference to a hundred, hundredth, 1 ÷ 100 = 1/100, ie. a fraction with numerator equal to 1 and denominator to one hundred.
• The word comes from the Latin "per Centum", meaning "by the hundred". The latin word "Centum" means "100", for example a century is 100 years. So, "percent" means "per 100".
• Percent means 1/100, two percent means 2/100, three percent means 3/100, and so on.
• Although a fraction, the percent occurs in writing without the denominator (100), but only with the numerator, followed by the sign %: 1 percent = 1%, two percent = 2%, three percent = 3%, and so on.

Percentage

• Percentage is the "result of multiplying a quantity by a certain percent".
• So 10 percent (10 ÷ 100 = 10/100 = 10%) out of 50 apples is 5 apples (10% of 50 = 10/100 × 50 = 500/100 = 5) - the 5 apples is the percentage.

When do we say percent and when percentage?

• The word percent (or the symbol %) accompanies a specific number: around 60 percent (60%) of the people voted for a change.
• The more general word percentage is used without a number: the percentage of the people that voted for a change was around 60 percent (60%);
• Correct: 60 percent (60%) of the people; Incorrect: 60 percentage of the people;
• Correct: a higher percentage of voters; Incorrect: a higher percent of voters;
• Note: In front of the word "percent" use the number, don't spell it out: "60 percent" is right, "sixty percent" is rather not. Always use figures for ages of people (He's 43 years old), dates (May 26), monetary amounts ($80,000), percentages (60 percent) and ratios (2-to-3).

Percentages converted to decimal numbers:

• 1 percent, 1%, means 1 per 100, 1% = 1/100 = 0.01.
• 50 percent, 50%, means 50 per 100, 50% = 50/100 = 1/2 (half) = 0.5.
• 1 percent of 70 is: 1% of 70 = 1/100 × 70 = 7/10 = 0.7
• 50 percent of 70 is: 50% of 70 = 50/100 × 70 = 1/2 × 70 = 35.

Input fractions

This calculator multiplies a fraction by integer or whole number. To multiple fraction by a whole number, we multiple the numerator by the whole number. Then simplify the result to the lowest terms or a mixed number.

The result:

3/8 * 100 = 75/2 = 37 1/2 = 37.5

Spelled result in words is seventy-five halfs (or thirty-seven and one half).

How do we solve fractions step by step?

1. Multiple: 3/8 * 100 = 3 · 100/8 · 1 = 300/8 = 75 · 4/2 · 4 = 75/2
   Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(300, 8) = 4. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 4 gives 75/2.
   In other words - three eighths multiplied by one hundred is seventy-five halfs.

Rules for expressions with fractions:

Fractions - use a forward slash to divide the numerator by the denominator, i.e., for five-hundredths, enter 5/100. If you use mixed numbers, leave a space between the whole and fraction parts.

Mixed numerals (mixed numbers or fractions) keep one space between the integer and
fraction and use a forward slash to input fractions i.e., 1 2/3 . An example of a negative mixed fraction: -5 1/2.
Because slash is both signs for fraction line and division, use a colon (:) as the operator of division fractions i.e., 1/2 : 1/3.
Decimals (decimal numbers) enter with a decimal point . and they are automatically converted to fractions - i.e. 1.45.

Math Symbols

The calculator follows well-known rules for the order of operations. The most common mnemonics for remembering this order of operations are:
PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
BEDMAS - Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction
BODMAS - Brackets, Of or Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
GEMDAS - Grouping Symbols - brackets (){}, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
MDAS - Multiplication and Division have the same precedence over Addition and Subtraction. The MDAS rule is the order of operations part of the PEMDAS rule.
Be careful; always do multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. Some operators (+ and -) and (* and /) has the same priority and then must evaluate from left to right.
