How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
- Multiply: 0.55 × 60 = 33
- Check: Work backwards: 33 ÷ 60 × 100 = 55%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/60, so part = 55 × 60 ÷ 100 = 33. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =55%*60. 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
33 is the 55% share of 60. The remaining 45% is 27, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 55% off an item priced $60 saves $33, so you pay $27.
Adding and taking away 55%
Increasing 60 by 55% gives 93 and decreasing it by 55% gives 27. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 41.85, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
