How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 36 = 4.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.68 ÷ 36 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/36, so part = 13 × 36 ÷ 100 = 4.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*36. 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

4.68 is the 13% share of 36. The remaining 87% is 31.32, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $36 saves $4.68, so you pay $31.32.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 36 by 13% gives 40.68 and decreasing it by 13% gives 31.32. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 35.3916, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
