How to multiply percentages?
The following is an example problem on how to properly multiply percentages. We will assume we have five difference percentages being multiplied, 5%,10%,15%,20%, and 25%.
First, we must break these down into decimal values. This yields the following decimals: .05,.10,.15,.20, and .25.
Next, multiply the decimals together. Using the method described in the Decimal Multiplication Calculator, we find the result to be: .000375.
Finally, multiply this result by 100 to get our resulting percentage. .000375*100= .0375%.
