How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 64 = 17.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.28 ÷ 64 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/64, so part = 27 × 64 ÷ 100 = 17.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*64. 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

17.28 is the 27% share of 64. The remaining 73% is 46.72, and the two parts add back up to 64.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $64 saves $17.28, so you pay $46.72.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 64 by 27% gives 81.28 and decreasing it by 27% gives 46.72. These do not cancel out: raising 64 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 59.3344, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
