How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 25 = 6.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.75 ÷ 25 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/25, so part = 27 × 25 ÷ 100 = 6.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*25. 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

6.75 is the 27% share of 25. The remaining 73% is 18.25, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $25 saves $6.75, so you pay $18.25.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 25 by 27% gives 31.75 and decreasing it by 27% gives 18.25. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 23.1775, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
