How do i calculate the percentage of grade on a street?

This is a good question for Civil Engineers. When I'm driving, I see a lot of signs that state "6% grade ahead". Obviously that means you're going uphill or downhill but is there a formula for actually calculating what the grade is?

    The formula is (41*100)/300 The reason is 1% of 300 is 300/100. You want to know how many '1%s' are in 41, so you divide 41 by 300/100.
