How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 83 = 29.88
- Check: Work backwards: 29.88 ÷ 83 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/83, so part = 36 × 83 ÷ 100 = 29.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*83. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 83 by 36% gives 112.88 and decreasing it by 36% gives 53.12. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 72.2432, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
