Percentage Calculation of a total amount

Question

Maths was never my strong point however I have a total of $350 how can I calculate it so that I can get 25% of the total $350?

You multiply 350 by .25. In general, $x$% of $y$ is just $\frac{x}{100}\cdot y$. — Dante, Nov 08 '16 at 08:21

If you have a value $V $ and you want $x $% percent of it, just multiply $V$ by $\frac {x}{100} $ to get

$$V \times \frac {x}{100} $$

In our case we get

$$350 \times \frac {25}{100} = 87.5 $$
