How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 1 = 0.57
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.57 ÷ 1 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/1, so part = 57 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.57. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*1. 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

0.57 is the 57% share of 1. The remaining 43% is 0.43, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $1 saves $0.57, so you pay $0.43.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 1 by 57% gives 1.57 and decreasing it by 57% gives 0.43. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 0.6751, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
