How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 79 = 45.82
- Check: Work backwards: 45.82 ÷ 79 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/79, so part = 58 × 79 ÷ 100 = 45.82. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
