How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 51 = 14.28
- Check: Work backwards: 14.28 ÷ 51 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/51, so part = 28 × 51 ÷ 100 = 14.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*51. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 28%
Increasing 51 by 28% gives 65.28 and decreasing it by 28% gives 36.72. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 47.0016, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
