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.
Move the decimal one place to the left to find 10% instantly. This is the easiest way to get rough percentages without a calculator. To do it, simply slide the decimal over one place to the left. So 10% of $23.50 is $2.35.Remember, there is always a decimal place at the end of a number, so 25 could also be thought of as 25.00. A percentage is a number of parts out of 100. 2  One way to think of a percentage is as a the numerator of a fraction that has a denominator of 100. 3  Converting to percentages is the same as finding an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 and then reporting only the numerator with a percent sign (%) after it.
