How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 59 = 7.67
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.67 ÷ 59 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/59, so part = 13 × 59 ÷ 100 = 7.67. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

7.67 is the 13% share of 59. The remaining 87% is 51.33, and the two parts add back up to 59.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $59 saves $7.67, so you pay $51.33.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 59 by 13% gives 66.67 and decreasing it by 13% gives 51.33. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 58.0029, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
