Enter the density of the element and the density of the mixture into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Density Percentage. 

Density Percentage Formula

DP = ED / MD * 100

Variables:

  • DP is the Density Percentage (%)
  • ED is the density of the element
  • MD is the density of the mixture

To calculate the Density Percentage, divide the density of the element by the density of the mixture, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Density Percentage?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Density Percentage.

  1. First, determine the density of the element. 
  2. Next, determine the density of the mixture. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = DP = ED / MD * 100.
  4. Finally, calculate the Density Percentage.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

density of the element = 5

density of the mixture = 6.25
