How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4
  2. Multiply: 0.4 × 77 = 30.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.8 ÷ 77 × 100 = 40%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/100 = part/77, so part = 40 × 77 ÷ 100 = 30.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40%*77. 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

30.8 is the 40% share of 77. The remaining 60% is 46.2, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 40% off an item priced $77 saves $30.8, so you pay $46.2.

Adding and taking away 40%

Increasing 77 by 40% gives 107.8 and decreasing it by 40% gives 46.2. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 40% and then lowering the result by 40% ends at 64.68, because the second 40% is taken of a bigger number.
