How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
- Multiply: 0.32 × 78 = 24.96
- Check: Work backwards: 24.96 ÷ 78 × 100 = 32%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/78, so part = 32 × 78 ÷ 100 = 24.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =32%*78. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
