# How do you convert a whole number to a percentage?

## Answer

The easiest way to convert a whole number to a percent is to take the number and divide it by the relative number, the result should be multiplied by 100. Simple calculations can be done in your head. If you are calculating what percent of 100 the number 33 is, that is 33-percent. To calculate a specific number as being an odd percent, such as what percentage of 68-percent is 37, you would write a fraction as 68/37 and divide 37 by 68 to get your answer.
