For instance, if a particular device can accommodate all frequencies between 75 MHz and 125 MHz, it has a bandwidth of 50 MHz (125 MHz-75 MHz).

Sometimes bandwidth is expressed in terms of a percentage. In this case, the bandwidth is simply divided by the average of the upper and lower frequencies. A simple example will explain ...
