How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 75 = 27
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27 ÷ 75 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/75, so part = 36 × 75 ÷ 100 = 27. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*75. 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

27 is the 36% share of 75. The remaining 64% is 48, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $75 saves $27, so you pay $48.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 75 by 36% gives 102 and decreasing it by 36% gives 48. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 65.28, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
