How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 56 ÷ 100 = 0.56
- Multiply: 0.56 × 77 = 43.12
- Check: Work backwards: 43.12 ÷ 77 × 100 = 56%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/100 = part/77, so part = 56 × 77 ÷ 100 = 43.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =56%*77. 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 56%
Increasing 77 by 56% gives 120.12 and decreasing it by 56% gives 33.88. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 56% and then lowering the result by 56% ends at 52.8528, because the second 56% is taken of a bigger number.
