How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
- Multiply: 0.5 × 76 = 38
- Check: Work backwards: 38 ÷ 76 × 100 = 50%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/100 = part/76, so part = 50 × 76 ÷ 100 = 38. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =50%*76. 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
38 is the 50% share of 76. The remaining 50% is 38, and the two parts add back up to 76.
Discounts: 50% off an item priced $76 saves $38, so you pay $38.
Adding and taking away 50%
Increasing 76 by 50% gives 114 and decreasing it by 50% gives 38. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 50% and then lowering the result by 50% ends at 57, because the second 50% is taken of a bigger number.
