How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 63 = 17.01
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.01 ÷ 63 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/63, so part = 27 × 63 ÷ 100 = 17.01. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*63. 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

17.01 is the 27% share of 63. The remaining 73% is 45.99, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $63 saves $17.01, so you pay $45.99.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 63 by 27% gives 80.01 and decreasing it by 27% gives 45.99. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 58.4073, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
