How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 96 = 40.32
- Check: Work backwards: 40.32 ÷ 96 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/96, so part = 42 × 96 ÷ 100 = 40.32. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*96. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 96 by 42% gives 136.32 and decreasing it by 42% gives 55.68. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 79.0656, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
