How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 83 = 10.79
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.79 ÷ 83 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/83, so part = 13 × 83 ÷ 100 = 10.79. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*83. 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

10.79 is the 13% share of 83. The remaining 87% is 72.21, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $83 saves $10.79, so you pay $72.21.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 83 by 13% gives 93.79 and decreasing it by 13% gives 72.21. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 81.5973, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
