The word percent is exactly that per cent, which basically means parts of hundred. E.g. 10% are 10 of 100, or 60% are 60 of 100. You can also write this mathematically as 60/100 or 60÷100, which is 0.6.
Now in general: x% are x parts of 100 or x/100 or x÷100.
If you want to calculate x% of y you just multiply it: y × x% = y × x ÷ 100.
I’m confused again.

This is one of those “maths is magical” moments, I guess.
Mathemagics.
I’m sorry but you have the big dumb
It’s okay, not everyone learns through the explicit formulas. If the reversable idea is good enough for you, then that’s great!
By what part?
