How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 6 = 2.16
- Check: Work backwards: 2.16 ÷ 6 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/6, so part = 36 × 6 ÷ 100 = 2.16. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*6. 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
2.16 is the 36% share of 6. The remaining 64% is 3.84, and the two parts add back up to 6.
Discounts: 36% off an item priced $6 saves $2.16, so you pay $3.84.
Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 6 by 36% gives 8.16 and decreasing it by 36% gives 3.84. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 5.2224, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
