How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 81 = 41.31
- Check: Work backwards: 41.31 ÷ 81 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/81, so part = 51 × 81 ÷ 100 = 41.31. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*81. 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

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 81 by 51% gives 122.31 and decreasing it by 51% gives 39.69. These do not cancel out: raising 81 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 59.9319, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
