Test and exam scores — you got 67 out of 80. What percentage is that?

Business metrics — conversion rate, click-through rate, churn rate — all percentage calculations.

Percentage Points vs Percent — Don't Confuse Them

This is the percentage mistake that costs people the most. If a conversion rate rises from 4% to 6%, that's an increase of 2 percentage points — but a 50% increase in relative terms, because 2 is half of 4. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Reports that say "up 2%" when they mean "up 2 points" mislead readers. Be explicit about which one you mean.

Reverse Percentage — Finding the Original Number

A common real-world need: you have a price after a discount or tax and want to work back to the original. If an item costs ₹1,180 including 18% GST, the pre-tax price is not ₹1,180 minus 18%. It's ₹1,180 ÷ 1.18 = ₹1,000. Subtracting 18% of the final figure gives the wrong answer, because the 18% was added to the smaller base. When you need the original from a "final" amount, divide rather than subtract.

Common Percentage Mistakes

• Adding percentages of different bases — 10% of one number plus 10% of another is not 10% of their sum unless the bases are equal.
• Stacking discounts — 20% off then a further 10% off is not 30% off; it's 28% off, because 0.8 × 0.9 = 0.72.
• Forgetting the direction of change — going from 100 to 50 is a 50% drop, but going back from 50 to 100 is a 100% rise. The same absolute change is a different percentage depending on the starting point.
