How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 21 ÷ 100 = 0.21
  2. Multiply: 0.21 × 64 = 13.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.44 ÷ 64 × 100 = 21%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 21/100 = part/64, so part = 21 × 64 ÷ 100 = 13.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =21%*64. 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

13.44 is the 21% share of 64. The remaining 79% is 50.56, and the two parts add back up to 64.

Discounts: 21% off an item priced $64 saves $13.44, so you pay $50.56.

Adding and taking away 21%

Increasing 64 by 21% gives 77.44 and decreasing it by 21% gives 50.56. These do not cancel out: raising 64 by 21% and then lowering the result by 21% ends at 61.1776, because the second 21% is taken of a bigger number.
