How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 21 ÷ 100 = 0.21
- Multiply: 0.21 × 51 = 10.71
- Check: Work backwards: 10.71 ÷ 51 × 100 = 21%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 21/100 = part/51, so part = 21 × 51 ÷ 100 = 10.71. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =21%*51. 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
10.71 is the 21% share of 51. The remaining 79% is 40.29, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Adding and taking away 21%
Increasing 51 by 21% gives 61.71 and decreasing it by 21% gives 40.29. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 21% and then lowering the result by 21% ends at 48.7509, because the second 21% is taken of a bigger number.
