How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 50 = 18
- Check: Work backwards: 18 ÷ 50 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/50, so part = 36 × 50 ÷ 100 = 18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*50. 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
18 is the 36% share of 50. The remaining 64% is 32, and the two parts add back up to 50.
Discounts: 36% off an item priced $50 saves $18, so you pay $32.
Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 50 by 36% gives 68 and decreasing it by 36% gives 32. These do not cancel out: raising 50 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 43.52, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
