Type of calculation: Calculating the values of individual percentages from a given number.
Calculator usage:
Step 1 (Your share): Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter your percentage as X (60) and the bill as Y (250). The calculator will calculate 60% of 250.
Step 2 (Roommate's share): Again, use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the roommate's percentage as X (40) and the bill as Y (250). The calculator will calculate 40% of 250.
Explanation using a formula:
We are looking for 60% and 40% of 250.
Your share = (60 / 100) × $250 = 0.6 × $250 = $150
Roommate's share = (40 / 100) × $250 = 0.4 × $250 = $100
