How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 71 = 41.18
  3. Check: Work backwards: 41.18 ÷ 71 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/71, so part = 58 × 71 ÷ 100 = 41.18. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*71. 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

41.18 is the 58% share of 71. The remaining 42% is 29.82, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $71 saves $41.18, so you pay $29.82.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 71 by 58% gives 112.18 and decreasing it by 58% gives 29.82. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 47.1156, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
