To express 1,250 as a percentage, you first need to understand the basic formula for converting a number to a percentage:
Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100
In this case, if we treat 1,250 as the ‘part’ of a whole that is, let’s say 10,000 (just as an example to put it in perspective), we can calculate it as follows:
Percentage = (1,250 / 10,000) × 100
Now, perform the division:
1,250 ÷ 10,000 = 0.125
Next, multiply by 100:
0.125 × 100 = 12.5
So, 1,250 is 12.5% of 10,000. Therefore, to express 1,250 as a percentage, you need to determine the whole it refers to. If you’re looking to express it as a percentage of something specific, just replace ‘10,000’ in the example with that whole number.
