How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 71 = 40.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.47 ÷ 71 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/71, so part = 57 × 71 ÷ 100 = 40.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*71. 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

40.47 is the 57% share of 71. The remaining 43% is 30.53, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $71 saves $40.47, so you pay $30.53.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 71 by 57% gives 111.47 and decreasing it by 57% gives 30.53. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 47.9321, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
