How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 10 = 5.8
- Check: Work backwards: 5.8 ÷ 10 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/10, so part = 58 × 10 ÷ 100 = 5.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*10. 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
5.8 is the 58% share of 10. The remaining 42% is 4.2, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 58% off an item priced $10 saves $5.8, so you pay $4.2.
Adding and taking away 58%
Increasing 10 by 58% gives 15.8 and decreasing it by 58% gives 4.2. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 6.636, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
