How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 2 = 0.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.64 ÷ 2 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/2, so part = 32 × 2 ÷ 100 = 0.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*2. 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

0.64 is the 32% share of 2. The remaining 68% is 1.36, and the two parts add back up to 2.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $2 saves $0.64, so you pay $1.36.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 2 by 32% gives 2.64 and decreasing it by 32% gives 1.36. These do not cancel out: raising 2 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 1.7952, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
