How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
- Multiply: 0.2 × 65 = 13
- Check: Work backwards: 13 ÷ 65 × 100 = 20%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/100 = part/65, so part = 20 × 65 ÷ 100 = 13. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =20%*65. 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
13 is the 20% share of 65. The remaining 80% is 52, and the two parts add back up to 65.
Discounts: 20% off an item priced $65 saves $13, so you pay $52.
Adding and taking away 20%
Increasing 65 by 20% gives 78 and decreasing it by 20% gives 52. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 20% and then lowering the result by 20% ends at 62.4, because the second 20% is taken of a bigger number.
