How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 7 = 3.43
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.43 ÷ 7 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/7, so part = 49 × 7 ÷ 100 = 3.43. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*7. 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

3.43 is the 49% share of 7. The remaining 51% is 3.57, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $7 saves $3.43, so you pay $3.57.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 7 by 49% gives 10.43 and decreasing it by 49% gives 3.57. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 5.3193, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
