How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
- Multiply: 0.32 × 100 = 32
- Check: Work backwards: 32 ÷ 100 × 100 = 32%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/100, so part = 32 × 100 ÷ 100 = 32. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =32%*100. 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
32 is the 32% share of 100. The remaining 68% is 68, and the two parts add back up to 100.
Discounts: 32% off an item priced $100 saves $32, so you pay $68.
Adding and taking away 32%
Increasing 100 by 32% gives 132 and decreasing it by 32% gives 68. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 89.76, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
