Download a calculator off the Market.

Or do x/y x 100. Assuming x and y are the numbers that you want to find a percentage of.

To be honest I don't see the problem with k0zimic's method...

And there isn't any harm in making you think a bit more, eh?

Same here. Doing a square root of something isn't usually as easy as moving a decimal place 2 positions to get a percentage. I suppose a reverse argument could be that in general use people are more likely to want a percentage than a square root.... I always found it hard to appreciate my ex's problems with being able to work out 10% of a figure in her head.

If you want to work out how much your investments will appreciate at 4% interest, multiple the original by 1,04.

Kartoffelkopf is your uncle, etc etc :)

This.

The Square root is there because the dev of the calculator probably thought you can't find a square root without the button whereas you can find a percentage just with the standard numbers and symbols.

I've actually used square root a fair few times, mainly for Pythagoras' theorem and for percentages I just do the method on my 1st post. If there's something more complex I need to do I just use a Casio calculator.

Or, an alternative method:

write your own. I didn't like the built in calc on an old winmo phone, so I wrote an new one, simple
