How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 10 = 5.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.7 ÷ 10 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/10, so part = 57 × 10 ÷ 100 = 5.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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

5.7 is the 57% share of 10. The remaining 43% is 4.3, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $10 saves $5.7, so you pay $4.3.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 10 by 57% gives 15.7 and decreasing it by 57% gives 4.3. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 6.751, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
