Question

How would I convert a number of people into a percentage?

Community Answer

One number cannot be converted into a percentage. A percentage is of "something," hence you need another number. For example the number of people who voted out of all people who could have voted is the percentage of people taking part in democratic decision making.

If 90% of students did an assignment and 30% turned it in, which percentage did both?

Question

If I have a business worth $50,000 and a person buys in with $20,000, how do I convert the 20,000 into percentage of ownership in the business?

Donagan

Add the two figures together: $50,000 + $20,000 = $70,000. Now divide $20,000 by $70,000 to get the new person's percentage of ownership. (It's 2/7.)
