How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 41 = 17.22
- Check: Work backwards: 17.22 ÷ 41 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/41, so part = 42 × 41 ÷ 100 = 17.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*41. 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
17.22 is the 42% share of 41. The remaining 58% is 23.78, and the two parts add back up to 41.

Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 41 by 42% gives 58.22 and decreasing it by 42% gives 23.78. These do not cancel out: raising 41 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 33.7676, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
