How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 10 = 3.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.5 ÷ 10 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/10, so part = 35 × 10 ÷ 100 = 3.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*10. 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

3.5 is the 35% share of 10. The remaining 65% is 6.5, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $10 saves $3.5, so you pay $6.5.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 10 by 35% gives 13.5 and decreasing it by 35% gives 6.5. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 8.775, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
