How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 100 = 36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36 ÷ 100 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/100, so part = 36 × 100 ÷ 100 = 36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*100. 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

36 is the 36% share of 100. The remaining 64% is 64, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $100 saves $36, so you pay $64.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 100 by 36% gives 136 and decreasing it by 36% gives 64. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 87.04, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
