How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 60 = 34.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.2 ÷ 60 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/60, so part = 57 × 60 ÷ 100 = 34.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*60. 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

34.2 is the 57% share of 60. The remaining 43% is 25.8, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $60 saves $34.2, so you pay $25.8.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 60 by 57% gives 94.2 and decreasing it by 57% gives 25.8. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 40.506, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
