How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
- Multiply: 0.55 × 13 = 7.15
- Check: Work backwards: 7.15 ÷ 13 × 100 = 55%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/13, so part = 55 × 13 ÷ 100 = 7.15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =55%*13. 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
7.15 is the 55% share of 13. The remaining 45% is 5.85, and the two parts add back up to 13.
Discounts: 55% off an item priced $13 saves $7.15, so you pay $5.85.
Adding and taking away 55%
Increasing 13 by 55% gives 20.15 and decreasing it by 55% gives 5.85. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 9.0675, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
