🔢 How to Calculate Percentages:
A percentage shows how much one value is out of 100.
👉 Formula:
Percentage = (Part ÷ Total) × 100
📊 Example:
If 40 out of 200 customers gave a 5-star review:
(40 ÷ 200) × 100 = 20%
So, 20% of customers gave top ratings.
✅ Interpreting It:
You can now say, “20% of our customers were highly satisfied.”
