Percentage Calculations Don’t let percentages fool you! Percentages are just ratios in disguise!
Percentages There are 3 types of percentages in pharmacy calculations: 1. Percent weight-in-weight (w/w) 2. Percent volume-in-volume (v/v) 3. Percent weight-in-volume (w/v) The units of these percentages will ALWAYS be GRAMS or ML
