How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 10 = 3.6
- Check: Work backwards: 3.6 ÷ 10 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/10, so part = 36 × 10 ÷ 100 = 3.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*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
3.6 is the 36% share of 10. The remaining 64% is 6.4, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 36% off an item priced $10 saves $3.6, so you pay $6.4.
Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 10 by 36% gives 13.6 and decreasing it by 36% gives 6.4. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 8.704, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
