What Percent is 85 of 100?

We need to find what percentage 85 is of 100.

Part (the amount we have): 85

Whole (the total): 100

We're asking: "85 out of 100 is how many percent?"

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

Percentage = (Part ÷ Whole) × 100

This gives us the part as a fraction of the whole, then converts to a percentage.

Step 1: Divide the part by the whole:

Step 2: Multiply by 100 to convert to percent:

0.85 × 100 = 85%

85 is 85% of 100.

This means if you had 100 items and took 85 of them,

you would have 85% of the total.
