What Percent is 42 of 100?

We need to find what percentage 42 is of 100.

Part (the amount we have): 42

Whole (the total): 100

We're asking: "42 out of 100 is how many percent?"

To find what percent one number is of another, we use:

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to convert to percent:

0.42 × 100 = 42%
