How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 71 = 36.21
- Check: Work backwards: 36.21 ÷ 71 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/71, so part = 51 × 71 ÷ 100 = 36.21. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*71. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
