How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
- Multiply: 0.49 × 85 = 41.65
- Check: Work backwards: 41.65 ÷ 85 × 100 = 49%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/85, so part = 49 × 85 ÷ 100 = 41.65. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =49%*85. 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

Adding and taking away 49%
Increasing 85 by 49% gives 126.65 and decreasing it by 49% gives 43.35. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 64.5915, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
