How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 79 = 21.33
- Check: Work backwards: 21.33 ÷ 79 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/79, so part = 27 × 79 ÷ 100 = 21.33. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*79. 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 79 by 27% gives 100.33 and decreasing it by 27% gives 57.67. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 73.2409, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
