How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 76 = 20.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.52 ÷ 76 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/76, so part = 27 × 76 ÷ 100 = 20.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*76. 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

20.52 is the 27% share of 76. The remaining 73% is 55.48, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $76 saves $20.52, so you pay $55.48.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 76 by 27% gives 96.52 and decreasing it by 27% gives 55.48. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 70.4596, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
