    If you are trying to figure out the percentage score of a test, divide the number correct BY the number possible. 19 correct of 32.  19/32 = ,59375 or .60, which is 60/100, which is 60%
    If you are trying to find the percentage of two numbers  (for example, what percentage of 25 is 10), divide 10 by 25.  The answer is .4  (4/10)  or 40/100, which is 40% 
    A percentage is a two-place decimal  ( .37) with the decimal removed and replaced with a % on the right side of the two numbers.
