How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 35 = 14.7
- Check: Work backwards: 14.7 ÷ 35 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/35, so part = 42 × 35 ÷ 100 = 14.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*35. 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
14.7 is the 42% share of 35. The remaining 58% is 20.3, and the two parts add back up to 35.
Discounts: 42% off an item priced $35 saves $14.7, so you pay $20.3.
Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 35 by 42% gives 49.7 and decreasing it by 42% gives 20.3. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 28.826, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
