How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
  2. Multiply: 0.51 × 80 = 40.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.8 ÷ 80 × 100 = 51%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/80, so part = 51 × 80 ÷ 100 = 40.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51%*80. 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

40.8 is the 51% share of 80. The remaining 49% is 39.2, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 51% off an item priced $80 saves $40.8, so you pay $39.2.

Adding and taking away 51%

Increasing 80 by 51% gives 120.8 and decreasing it by 51% gives 39.2. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 59.192, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
