How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 83 = 47.31
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.31 ÷ 83 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/83, so part = 57 × 83 ÷ 100 = 47.31. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*83. 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

47.31 is the 57% share of 83. The remaining 43% is 35.69, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $83 saves $47.31, so you pay $35.69.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 83 by 57% gives 130.31 and decreasing it by 57% gives 35.69. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 56.0333, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
