How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 96 = 25.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.92 ÷ 96 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/96, so part = 27 × 96 ÷ 100 = 25.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*96. 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

25.92 is the 27% share of 96. The remaining 73% is 70.08, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $96 saves $25.92, so you pay $70.08.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 96 by 27% gives 121.92 and decreasing it by 27% gives 70.08. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 89.0016, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
