How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 59 = 7.08
- Check: Work backwards: 7.08 ÷ 59 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/59, so part = 12 × 59 ÷ 100 = 7.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*59. 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

Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 59 by 12% gives 66.08 and decreasing it by 12% gives 51.92. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 58.1504, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
