How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
- Multiply: 0.57 × 55 = 31.35
- Check: Work backwards: 31.35 ÷ 55 × 100 = 57%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/55, so part = 57 × 55 ÷ 100 = 31.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =57%*55. 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
31.35 is the 57% share of 55. The remaining 43% is 23.65, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 57%
Increasing 55 by 57% gives 86.35 and decreasing it by 57% gives 23.65. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 37.1305, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
