How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 59 = 14.75
- Check: Work backwards: 14.75 ÷ 59 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/59, so part = 25 × 59 ÷ 100 = 14.75. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*59. 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
14.75 is the 25% share of 59. The remaining 75% is 44.25, and the two parts add back up to 59.

Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 59 by 25% gives 73.75 and decreasing it by 25% gives 44.25. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 55.3125, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
