How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 2 ÷ 100 = 0.02
  2. Multiply: 0.02 × 76 = 1.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.52 ÷ 76 × 100 = 2%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/100 = part/76, so part = 2 × 76 ÷ 100 = 1.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =2%*76. 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

1.52 is the 2% share of 76. The remaining 98% is 74.48, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 2% off an item priced $76 saves $1.52, so you pay $74.48.

Adding and taking away 2%

Increasing 76 by 2% gives 77.52 and decreasing it by 2% gives 74.48. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 2% and then lowering the result by 2% ends at 75.9696, because the second 2% is taken of a bigger number.
