How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 75 = 20.25
- Check: Work backwards: 20.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/75, so part = 27 × 75 ÷ 100 = 20.25. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*75. 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

Adding and taking away 27%
Increasing 75 by 27% gives 95.25 and decreasing it by 27% gives 54.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 69.5325, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
