How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
- Multiply: 0.13 × 70 = 9.1
- Check: Work backwards: 9.1 ÷ 70 × 100 = 13%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/70, so part = 13 × 70 ÷ 100 = 9.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =13%*70. 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
9.1 is the 13% share of 70. The remaining 87% is 60.9, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 13% off an item priced $70 saves $9.1, so you pay $60.9.
Adding and taking away 13%
Increasing 70 by 13% gives 79.1 and decreasing it by 13% gives 60.9. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 68.817, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
