How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
- Multiply: 0.22 × 71 = 15.62
- Check: Work backwards: 15.62 ÷ 71 × 100 = 22%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/71, so part = 22 × 71 ÷ 100 = 15.62. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =22%*71. 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

Adding and taking away 22%
Increasing 71 by 22% gives 86.62 and decreasing it by 22% gives 55.38. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 67.5636, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
