How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 100 = 27
- Check: Work backwards: 27 ÷ 100 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/100, so part = 27 × 100 ÷ 100 = 27. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*100. 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
27 is the 27% share of 100. The remaining 73% is 73, and the two parts add back up to 100.
Discounts: 27% off an item priced $100 saves $27, so you pay $73.
Adding and taking away 27%
Increasing 100 by 27% gives 127 and decreasing it by 27% gives 73. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 92.71, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
