How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 68 = 8.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.84 ÷ 68 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/68, so part = 13 × 68 ÷ 100 = 8.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*68. 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

8.84 is the 13% share of 68. The remaining 87% is 59.16, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $68 saves $8.84, so you pay $59.16.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 68 by 13% gives 76.84 and decreasing it by 13% gives 59.16. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 66.8508, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
