A question about how to find percentages: I am trying to work out a percentage one number holds when added to another number.

Good day to you,

Not sure the best way to explain but:

I am trying to work out a percentage one number holds when added to another number.

For example 1: 33% of 7653 is 2552.19 - how I would work this out would be - (7653 x .33)
-
But when adding 7653 to say 4000 for example (7654 + 4000 = 11653)

what percent is 7653 in 11653? Using the multiplying method in example 1

Hope that makes sense,

Thanks

Taylor

33% of 7653 is 2552.19

I am getting a slightly different result.

what percent is 7653 in 11653?

What percent is X in Y ? It is 100*X/Y.

I know the method I use doesn't get the exact result, but that answers my question, thanks
