How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
- Multiply: 0.55 × 10 = 5.5
- Check: Work backwards: 5.5 ÷ 10 × 100 = 55%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/10, so part = 55 × 10 ÷ 100 = 5.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =55%*10. 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
5.5 is the 55% share of 10. The remaining 45% is 4.5, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 55% off an item priced $10 saves $5.5, so you pay $4.5.
Adding and taking away 55%
Increasing 10 by 55% gives 15.5 and decreasing it by 55% gives 4.5. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 6.975, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
