How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 84 = 48.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.72 ÷ 84 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/84, so part = 58 × 84 ÷ 100 = 48.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*84. 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

48.72 is the 58% share of 84. The remaining 42% is 35.28, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $84 saves $48.72, so you pay $35.28.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 84 by 58% gives 132.72 and decreasing it by 58% gives 35.28. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 55.7424, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
