How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 15 = 5.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.25 ÷ 15 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/15, so part = 35 × 15 ÷ 100 = 5.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*15. 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

5.25 is the 35% share of 15. The remaining 65% is 9.75, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $15 saves $5.25, so you pay $9.75.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 15 by 35% gives 20.25 and decreasing it by 35% gives 9.75. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 13.1625, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
