How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
  2. Multiply: 0.51 × 13 = 6.63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.63 ÷ 13 × 100 = 51%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/13, so part = 51 × 13 ÷ 100 = 6.63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51%*13. 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

6.63 is the 51% share of 13. The remaining 49% is 6.37, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 51% off an item priced $13 saves $6.63, so you pay $6.37.

Adding and taking away 51%

Increasing 13 by 51% gives 19.63 and decreasing it by 51% gives 6.37. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 9.6187, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
