How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 36 = 9
- Check: Work backwards: 9 ÷ 36 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/36, so part = 25 × 36 ÷ 100 = 9. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*36. 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
9 is the 25% share of 36. The remaining 75% is 27, and the two parts add back up to 36.
Discounts: 25% off an item priced $36 saves $9, so you pay $27.
Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 36 by 25% gives 45 and decreasing it by 25% gives 27. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 33.75, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
