How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
- Multiply: 0.5 × 65 = 32.5
- Check: Work backwards: 32.5 ÷ 65 × 100 = 50%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/100 = part/65, so part = 50 × 65 ÷ 100 = 32.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =50%*65. 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
32.5 is the 50% share of 65. The remaining 50% is 32.5, and the two parts add back up to 65.

Adding and taking away 50%
Increasing 65 by 50% gives 97.5 and decreasing it by 50% gives 32.5. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 50% and then lowering the result by 50% ends at 48.75, because the second 50% is taken of a bigger number.
