How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 36 = 20.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.88 ÷ 36 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/36, so part = 58 × 36 ÷ 100 = 20.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*36. 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

20.88 is the 58% share of 36. The remaining 42% is 15.12, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $36 saves $20.88, so you pay $15.12.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 36 by 58% gives 56.88 and decreasing it by 58% gives 15.12. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 23.8896, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
