How to Calculate Percent with Android Phone Calculator
In our daily life, we may find a lot of percent figures, either when shopping at a mall that says a discount of a certain percentage or when you want a motorbike loan and then there are a certain percentage of installments, of course there are many, right?
When we want to find out what percentage of these numbers, we certainly won’t have time to take a book as a note or doodle.
But with a smartphone, of course all that will be easier. Especially now that there are many calculator applications complete with mathematical formulas such as division, multiplication and even cons and tirgonometry.
But before you calculate the percentage of a number, you must first understand what the percent formula looks like, right?
And please note down the formula below.
Formula Calculating Percent
Percentage = (Number of Parts / Total Total) x 100%
Because you already know the formula, let’s now move on to how to calculate percent with the Android cellphone calculator below.

If you already have the application, now we will work on a problem where we will find the price of a shirt after being discounted.
Example : A shirt at the mall is sold for IDR 500,000 with a 25% discount. How much does the shirt cost after the discount?
Enter the calculator app
Then enter the number 25 which is a discount
Press the % (percent) button so that later it will be 0.25
Press the X button (times) then enter the price of the shirt, which is 500,000
Press the = (equals) button to find out the result of multiplying 0.25×500000 and it is known that the result is 125,000
Then the big discount or discount on the price of the shirt is Rp. 125,000
So how much does the shirt cost after deducting the discount?
Initial dress price – big discount / discount = IDR 500,000 – IDR 125,000 = IDR 375,000
The above method is easier to do because it uses a calculator that is equipped with the % (percent) button in it.
How about a cellphone without a percent key calculator?
As I said above, we can download a calculator application that has a percent button to make it easier.
But if you are lazy to download, there is a manual way that can be done, namely in the following way.
How to Calculate Percentage with a Hp Calculator that Doesn’t Have a Percentage Button
If you have a cellphone whose calculator doesn’t have a percent button, it’s usually because it hasn’t been updated or maybe there isn’t an update anymore.
No need to worry, because you can still calculate the percent in the following way.
Remember! Percent means per hundred (/100)
Still with the same example as above, the price of clothes is Rp. 500,000 and a discount of 25%.
Enter the calculator, then write 25 first
Press the divide button, then press the number 100
Press equals to know the result, and it will produce 0.25
Then press the X button (times) then multiply by the price of the clothes, which is 500000 and the result will be 125000
Isn’t the result the same as the first method?
Actually, the first method and the second method are the same, it’s just that the first method is easier because there is a percent button so we don’t have to enter hundredths again when calculating.
Hopefully how to calculate percent with a calculator on this Android phone can be useful for all of you.
