How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 27 = 9.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.72 ÷ 27 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/27, so part = 36 × 27 ÷ 100 = 9.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

9.72 is the 36% share of 27. The remaining 64% is 17.28, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $27 saves $9.72, so you pay $17.28.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 27 by 36% gives 36.72 and decreasing it by 36% gives 17.28. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 23.5008, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
