How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 87 = 23.49
- Check: Work backwards: 23.49 ÷ 87 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/87, so part = 27 × 87 ÷ 100 = 23.49. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*87. 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 87 by 27% gives 110.49 and decreasing it by 27% gives 63.51. These do not cancel out: raising 87 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 80.6577, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
