Ghana, like the rest of Africa, with the possible exception of South Africa and a few others, suffers from the affliction of dishonest leadership.. John Hayford, a Ghanaian writer, adds: Africa's biggest problem today lies with the leadership.
To figure out a percentage, turn the percentage into a decimal, then multiply the decimal value by the total. To turn a percentage into a decimal, move the original decimal two places to the left. If your percentage is a whole number without a visible decimal, this invisible decimal is located at the end of the number.or example, to figure out an 18 percent tip on a $32.74 bill, first convert 18 percent to .18. Multiply .18 and 32.74, and you will get a total value of 5.8932. Because money is only two decimal points, this tip will round to $5.89. To find the total bill, add $5.89 to $32.74.
To calculate the percentage increase: First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Increase = New Number-Original Number. Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.% increase = Increase Ã· Original Number Ã 100.If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.ometimes it is easier to show percentage decrease as a negative number â to do this follow the formula above to calculate percentage increase â your answer will be a negative number if there was a decrease. In Dylanâs case the decrease works out at -15.5. -10.5 Ã· 45.5 = -0.23. -0.23 Ã 100 = -23%.
