45 people in a room 27 are women, what percent is were the women

(27 divided by 45) =

Take that number and multiply by 100... That will give you your percent

(# of Women / Total # of people) x 100 = Percentage of women

(27/45) =  0.6 This is the same as 60%, but if you multipy the answer by 100 it makes things easier.
 

0.6 x 100 = 60%

27/45 are women

27 divided by 45

Take this number and multiply by 100 to get your %.

when you are required to calculate something as a percentage, it means you have to find how much of that quantity is per 100 occurrences of other quantity.

for example, suppose there are 20 animals, and 3 out of those 20 animals are rats.

so just see a simple calculation here....


for 20 animals , number of rats = 3
for 1 animal, number of rats equals = 3/20

and for 100 animals it is equal to 3/20 * 100 = 15
so 15% is the amount of rats in total count of 20 animals.

in your question, total people are 45 and 27 are women.
go by above method..

in 45 people , amount of women = 27
so in 100 people , amount of women is 27/45 * 100

i.e. you just calculated the number of women per 100 number  of people

(part/whole) * 100

(27/45)* 100= 60%

27 women out of 45 or (27/45) = .6
You take your .6 and multiply it by 100 because you want it in percent form so it now becomes 60%

simply divide 27 by 45, then multiply by 100.

27/45=.6 x 100= 60%!!!

27/45 = 0.6
and then it is multiplied by 100:

0.6 x 100 = 60%

and there you have your answer : 60%
