If you absolutely, positively must turn a percent into a whole number for a pure math problem, here’s the only trick:

Divide the percent by 100. So 75% divided by 100 is 0.75. That’s not a whole number. But 100% divided by 100 is 1—a whole number!

So the rule is simple: only percents that are multiples of 100% become whole numbers. 100% = 1. 200% = 2. 300% = 3. And so on.

Everything else leaves you with a decimal. Sorry, not sorry.

Real-Life Example (Because You’re Not a Robot)

Imagine you’re at a store. Sign says “50% off everything!”

Are you going to try to turn that 50% into a whole number? No! You’ll calculate half the price. That’s the real win.

But let’s say a coupon says “200% value on your next purchase.” That’s twice the value. 200% becomes the whole number 2. You double your money. Nice.
