How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 44 ÷ 100 = 0.44
- Multiply: 0.44 × 42 = 18.48
- Check: Work backwards: 18.48 ÷ 42 × 100 = 44%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 44/100 = part/42, so part = 44 × 42 ÷ 100 = 18.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =44%*42. 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 44%
Increasing 42 by 44% gives 60.48 and decreasing it by 44% gives 23.52. These do not cancel out: raising 42 by 44% and then lowering the result by 44% ends at 33.8688, because the second 44% is taken of a bigger number.
