How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 41 = 4.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.1 ÷ 41 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/41, so part = 10 × 41 ÷ 100 = 4.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*41. 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

4.1 is the 10% share of 41. The remaining 90% is 36.9, and the two parts add back up to 41.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $41 saves $4.1, so you pay $36.9.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 41 by 10% gives 45.1 and decreasing it by 10% gives 36.9. These do not cancel out: raising 41 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 40.59, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
