How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 650 = 65
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65 ÷ 650 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/650, so part = 10 × 650 ÷ 100 = 65. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*650. 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

65 is the 10% share of 650. The remaining 90% is 585, and the two parts add back up to 650.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $650 saves $65, so you pay $585.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 650 by 10% gives 715 and decreasing it by 10% gives 585. These do not cancel out: raising 650 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 643.5, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
