How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 51 = 6.63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.63 ÷ 51 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/51, so part = 13 × 51 ÷ 100 = 6.63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*51. 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

6.63 is the 13% share of 51. The remaining 87% is 44.37, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $51 saves $6.63, so you pay $44.37.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 51 by 13% gives 57.63 and decreasing it by 13% gives 44.37. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 50.1381, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
