How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
  2. Multiply: 0.5 × 200 = 100
  3. Check: Work backwards: 100 ÷ 200 × 100 = 50%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/100 = part/200, so part = 50 × 200 ÷ 100 = 100. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50%*200. 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

100 is the 50% share of 200. The remaining 50% is 100, and the two parts add back up to 200.

Discounts: 50% off an item priced $200 saves $100, so you pay $100.

Adding and taking away 50%

Increasing 200 by 50% gives 300 and decreasing it by 50% gives 100. These do not cancel out: raising 200 by 50% and then lowering the result by 50% ends at 150, because the second 50% is taken of a bigger number.
