How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 6 = 3.48
- Check: Work backwards: 3.48 ÷ 6 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/6, so part = 58 × 6 ÷ 100 = 3.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*6. 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
3.48 is the 58% share of 6. The remaining 42% is 2.52, and the two parts add back up to 6.

Adding and taking away 58%
Increasing 6 by 58% gives 9.48 and decreasing it by 58% gives 2.52. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 3.9816, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
