How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 1 = 0.58
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.58 ÷ 1 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/1, so part = 58 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.58. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*1. 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

0.58 is the 58% share of 1. The remaining 42% is 0.42, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $1 saves $0.58, so you pay $0.42.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 1 by 58% gives 1.58 and decreasing it by 58% gives 0.42. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 0.6636, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
