How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 21 = 10.71
- Check: Work backwards: 10.71 ÷ 21 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/21, so part = 51 × 21 ÷ 100 = 10.71. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*21. 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
10.71 is the 51% share of 21. The remaining 49% is 10.29, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 21 by 51% gives 31.71 and decreasing it by 51% gives 10.29. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 15.5379, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
