How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 71 = 34.79
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.79 ÷ 71 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/71, so part = 49 × 71 ÷ 100 = 34.79. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*71. 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

34.79 is the 49% share of 71. The remaining 51% is 36.21, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $71 saves $34.79, so you pay $36.21.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 71 by 49% gives 105.79 and decreasing it by 49% gives 36.21. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 53.9529, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
