How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 27 = 9.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.45 ÷ 27 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/27, so part = 35 × 27 ÷ 100 = 9.45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*27. 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

9.45 is the 35% share of 27. The remaining 65% is 17.55, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $27 saves $9.45, so you pay $17.55.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 27 by 35% gives 36.45 and decreasing it by 35% gives 17.55. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 23.6925, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
