How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
- Multiply: 0.2 × 58 = 11.6
- Check: Work backwards: 11.6 ÷ 58 × 100 = 20%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/100 = part/58, so part = 20 × 58 ÷ 100 = 11.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =20%*58. 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
11.6 is the 20% share of 58. The remaining 80% is 46.4, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Adding and taking away 20%
Increasing 58 by 20% gives 69.6 and decreasing it by 20% gives 46.4. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 20% and then lowering the result by 20% ends at 55.68, because the second 20% is taken of a bigger number.
