Okay, so I was messing around with some numbers today and I got stuck on this little problem: What’s 52% of 800?
It’s not something I do every day, you know, calculating percentages of big numbers. So, I grabbed my phone first – always the easiest option, right? – and opened up the calculator app.
My Calculation Steps
I started punching in the numbers:
- First, I typed in 800.
- Then, I hit the multiply button (you know, the x).
- Next, I needed to enter 52%, and you just put the number. I entered 52.
- After 52, Clicked the percentage button .
After I hit the percent button, BOOM, the answer just pops up on the screen.
The calculator showed 416. That’s it! 52% of 800 is 416. Honestly, it took longer to explain it than to actually do it.
I did double-check, just to be sure. Same result. So, there you have it – a super simple way to find the percentage of a number using just your phone’s calculator. Easy peasy!
