How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 84 = 30.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.24 ÷ 84 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/84, so part = 36 × 84 ÷ 100 = 30.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*84. 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

30.24 is the 36% share of 84. The remaining 64% is 53.76, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $84 saves $30.24, so you pay $53.76.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 84 by 36% gives 114.24 and decreasing it by 36% gives 53.76. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 73.1136, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
