Dear all, I have to prepare a detailed report with different tables and I'm looking for an accessible app to calculate percentage values i.e. how much percent is 30 out of 76 etc. This hint is for those who may ask which app I'm looking for. The price doesn't matter, the quality is more important. I've tried some randomly selected apps but presentation of percentage calculation was not clear for VoiceOver users. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Warm greetings from Poland to you all!

I don't know of an app that can do what you need, but you might want to try asking siri for a percentage. So you could ask siri something like, what is 5 percent of twenty, just to name one example.

What are you trying to do that requires an app? If it's percentages, you can figure that out with multiplication by asking Siri. 76 x 0.3 is 22.8. If you want the app to generate the reports for you, that's going to be tougher. The only app I know that might be able to do that is Excel, and I have no idea how that works on Mac or iOS.

I haven't found plenty of apps that can be used problem is so far have not found one that is accessible.
The app is so you can choose the team you want to pick and includes all games in the round.At the end, it tallies your wins but also most, but you can run your own competition within it. We have been running a competition between a group of friends who are all blind or low vision, In previous years they would email text or all with their tips and I would put them in a spreadsheet but unfortunately, I do not have the time to do that this year but we still want to have our competition

Siri is fine but the point is I have a table with data, and I need to calculate percentage e.g. 10 out of 100 is 10 percent but how about other, more difficult calculations.I'm looking for an app where I put two numbers in eddit fields and automatically get the result. Thanks for your replies guys.

If you want the percentage of 30 out of 70, use the equation in the subject line on your calculator, or you can ask SIRI by saying, "Hey SIRI, what is 30 divided by 70?" SIRI will answer by saying "0.[number]", where "number is the percentage.

Joy!

Thanks for your hints but instead of asking Siri for further calculations I'd rather use a simple app. I've checked it is quite ok with MS Excell on Windows and Mac but in some situations an app is a better solution. That's why I'm asking about such helpful app. Greetings.

Either numbers or excel might help you do what your trying to do. I don't use numbers or excel often but, you can insert different formulas i.e, to calculate percentage, add, multiply etc.

Thank you guys for your replies. I've tried with Excell on Windows but for an iPhone a standard calculator works fine all you need is to do the following: if you wanna know how many percent is 5 out of 50 follow these steps: open calculator app and type 5/50% and them hit the equal button. You'll get what you need. I know this may be obvious for some of you but I'm sharing my findings for those who may need it some time later.
