How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 35 = 3.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.5 ÷ 35 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/35, so part = 10 × 35 ÷ 100 = 3.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*35. 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

3.5 is the 10% share of 35. The remaining 90% is 31.5, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $35 saves $3.5, so you pay $31.5.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 35 by 10% gives 38.5 and decreasing it by 10% gives 31.5. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 34.65, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
