How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
  2. Multiply: 0.2 × 475 = 95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 95 ÷ 475 × 100 = 20%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/100 = part/475, so part = 20 × 475 ÷ 100 = 95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20%*475. 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

95 is the 20% share of 475. The remaining 80% is 380, and the two parts add back up to 475.

Discounts: 20% off an item priced $475 saves $95, so you pay $380.

Adding and taking away 20%

Increasing 475 by 20% gives 570 and decreasing it by 20% gives 380. These do not cancel out: raising 475 by 20% and then lowering the result by 20% ends at 456, because the second 20% is taken of a bigger number.
