You are not missing anything, you just have to multiply, let's say you want to find out how much is 15% of X, you multiply X with 0.15, the percentage sign is overated

So you think if someone asks a question that everyone should know we should just ignore it and do not help ?
"Will my 20 by 16 photo fit in this 16 by 20 frame?"
That is another question that I was asked and it was for real, so this OP's question does not sound that bad after all. And having 500 $ to buy a phone does not make you good at math

Use the decimal equivalent of your percentage.

For example, to find 50% of 25 multiply 25 by .50 to get 12.5.

Or to find 75% multiply by .75 etc.
