How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 71 = 19.17
- Check: Work backwards: 19.17 ÷ 71 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/71, so part = 27 × 71 ÷ 100 = 19.17. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*71. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 27%
Increasing 71 by 27% gives 90.17 and decreasing it by 27% gives 51.83. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 65.8241, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
