If you want to find 25% of 500
ENTER....
500 X 25 [2ndF] % will display 125.

If you want to know what % a number is of another number like for instance...
What percentage is 120 of 400?
ENTER...
120 [DIV] 400 [2ndF] % will display 30.


If you want to increase a number by some percentage like
Increase 500 by 25%
ENTER...
500 + 25 [2ndF] % will display 625.

If you want to decrease a number by a percentage like
Decrease 400 by 30%
ENTER...
400 - 30 [2ndF] % will Display 280.

NOTE [2ndF] is the 2ndF button. Do not enter the brackets [ and ].
NOTE [DIV] is the divide button. The text editor would not let me enter the divide symbol

Where is the percentage button?

You can try pressing "alpha" or "2nd" and then pressing the key you saw the percent sign on.

here is a temporary solution in case that doesn't work:to enter a percentage up to write the digits before the tens and ones (if any, and if not, just type a zero), a point, and the last two digits.ex:
  • 56%=0.56
  • 28%=0.28
  • 132%=1.32
  • 4243%=42.43


To write down the answer, take all the digits, take off the point, if the percentage is 99% or less, don't write the zero on the right of the period, and add a percent sign.

Lenovo Ideapad Z570: Battery indicator shows the Power is plugged in & charging. But the Battery charge percentage doesn't increase. How to fix this?

The battery might be nearing the end of it's useful life and needs to be replaced. The battery only lasts for so long then it has to be replaced.

Buy a battery on ebay base on your computer's Make and model, not the model of the battery.

Casio ce-3700 showing some percentages on it's reading.how take that out?

Which percentages? Which reading? You will need to be more specific. If it is part of the daily report, the user manual should be able to show you what they mean. If you need more information, the Casio CE-3700 manuals are here:

Acer,Aspire 5720-4663 Math calculator: How does one use the percentage function?

Hi. Try this steps on using your math calculator for the percentage function.

Hope This Helps

Step 1. Note that not all calculators behave the same way as far as the percentage key is concerned. Thus, test the examples in this article on your calculator. If your calculator does not have the percent key or does not behave in the way described here, don't despair - you can still use it to calculate percentages, it's just that you will have to press a few more buttons.
Step 2. Let's calculate a tip on your restaurant bill. Suppose your bill happens to be $64.35 and you would like to leave 15% tip.
Type the following into your calculator: 64.35 * 15 %
Answer: 9.6525 or $9.65 after rounding.
Most simple calculators will give an answer right here without having to press the = sign. If yours does not, press = and see if you get the right answer.
Alternatively, you can calculate this percentage by typing in
64.35 * 15 / 100 or 64.35 * 0.15
Thus, you may have observed that all that the percent key did here was division by a hundred.
Step 3. Let's calculate a grade percentage - say you got 34 out of a maximum of 40 points.
To figure out your grade percentage type in: 34 / 40 %
Answer: 85
Alternatively, without the percent key: 34 / 40 * 100
Step 4. Let's calculate a sale price on those shoes that originally cost $139, but are now discounted by 35%.
On your calculator type in: 139 - 35 % =
Answer: 90.35 or $90.35
This calculation is amazingly easy with the percent key! Alternatively, you would first have to calculate what the 35% of the $139 is and then subtract it from 139:
139 * 35 / 100 = 48.65
139 - 48.65 = 90.35
