How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 69 = 6.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.9 ÷ 69 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/69, so part = 10 × 69 ÷ 100 = 6.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*69. 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

6.9 is the 10% share of 69. The remaining 90% is 62.1, and the two parts add back up to 69.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $69 saves $6.9, so you pay $62.1.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 69 by 10% gives 75.9 and decreasing it by 10% gives 62.1. These do not cancel out: raising 69 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 68.31, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
