How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
  2. Multiply: 0.12 × 77 = 9.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.24 ÷ 77 × 100 = 12%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/77, so part = 12 × 77 ÷ 100 = 9.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12%*77. 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

9.24 is the 12% share of 77. The remaining 88% is 67.76, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 12% off an item priced $77 saves $9.24, so you pay $67.76.

Adding and taking away 12%

Increasing 77 by 12% gives 86.24 and decreasing it by 12% gives 67.76. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 75.8912, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
