How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 65 = 18.2
- Check: Work backwards: 18.2 ÷ 65 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/65, so part = 28 × 65 ÷ 100 = 18.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*65. 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 65 by 28% gives 83.2 and decreasing it by 28% gives 46.8. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 59.904, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
