How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
  2. Multiply: 0.59 × 13 = 7.67
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.67 ÷ 13 × 100 = 59%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/13, so part = 59 × 13 ÷ 100 = 7.67. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59%*13. 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

7.67 is the 59% share of 13. The remaining 41% is 5.33, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 59% off an item priced $13 saves $7.67, so you pay $5.33.

Adding and taking away 59%

Increasing 13 by 59% gives 20.67 and decreasing it by 59% gives 5.33. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 8.4747, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
