How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
- Multiply: 0.15 × 25 = 3.75
- Check: Work backwards: 3.75 ÷ 25 × 100 = 15%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/25, so part = 15 × 25 ÷ 100 = 3.75. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =15%*25. 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
3.75 is the 15% share of 25. The remaining 85% is 21.25, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Adding and taking away 15%
Increasing 25 by 15% gives 28.75 and decreasing it by 15% gives 21.25. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 24.4375, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
