How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 91 = 38.22
- Check: Work backwards: 38.22 ÷ 91 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/91, so part = 42 × 91 ÷ 100 = 38.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*91. 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
38.22 is the 42% share of 91. The remaining 58% is 52.78, and the two parts add back up to 91.

Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 91 by 42% gives 129.22 and decreasing it by 42% gives 52.78. These do not cancel out: raising 91 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 74.9476, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
