90% − 40% | 50%
And you can add/subtract decimals & fractions to/from percentages. 1.0 is equivalent to 100%.
30% + 0.4 | 70%
100% - 1/2 | 50%
100% + 2 + 30% | 330%
Note that when multiplying a percentage by a number, the answer will always be a number (not a percentage), regardless of order:
50% × 30 | 15
30 × 50% | 15
The percentage in any of the aforementioned functions can also be replaced with a fraction:
2/3 of 600 | 400
50 is 1/5 of what | 250
You can also use "x", "multiple" or "multiplier" instead of percentage:
50 as x of 5 | 10x
2 as multiplier of 1 | 2x
2 as multiplier on 1 | 1x
1 as x off 2 | 0.5x
Multiplier change from one number to another
50 to 75 is what x | 1.5x
20 to 40 as x | 2x
