    Comparing Percentages with certain values
    Say that I have two percentages each with its own value, we will set the value in money

    94% of $8
    and
    63% of $17

    How do I compare which one is going to end up producing the most money

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking. If you just mean flat-out dollar amounts, just multiply those percents and compare them.

    Having a context would be useful. If the 94% and the 63% both represent the same thing, the 94% is producing more as a percentage. That's what you want to do for certain things. But there's no context and I'm not sure what you're trying to do, so not sure exactly what you're looking for and therefore how to do it.

    I just saw your other post. Please don't double-post. It just confuses us, not to mention that I just answered this for nothing. But I also see from your other post that you were using this in a way that was certainly not clear from this post.

    It really helps if you say exactly what you are attempting to do and not leave all that info out. We can only answer based on what you provide.
