How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 1 = 0.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.32 ÷ 1 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/1, so part = 32 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*1. 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

0.32 is the 32% share of 1. The remaining 68% is 0.68, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $1 saves $0.32, so you pay $0.68.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 1 by 32% gives 1.32 and decreasing it by 32% gives 0.68. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 0.8976, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
