How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 71 = 0.71
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.71 ÷ 71 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/71, so part = 1 × 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*71. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

0.71 is the 1% share of 71. The remaining 99% is 70.29, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $71 saves $0.71, so you pay $70.29.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 71 by 1% gives 71.71 and decreasing it by 1% gives 70.29. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 70.9929, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
