How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 63 = 26.46
- Check: Work backwards: 26.46 ÷ 63 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/63, so part = 42 × 63 ÷ 100 = 26.46. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*63. 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

Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 63 by 42% gives 89.46 and decreasing it by 42% gives 36.54. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 51.8868, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
