How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 36 = 20.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.52 ÷ 36 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/36, so part = 57 × 36 ÷ 100 = 20.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*36. 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

20.52 is the 57% share of 36. The remaining 43% is 15.48, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $36 saves $20.52, so you pay $15.48.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 36 by 57% gives 56.52 and decreasing it by 57% gives 15.48. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 24.3036, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
