How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
  2. Multiply: 0.59 × 63 = 37.17
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.17 ÷ 63 × 100 = 59%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/63, so part = 59 × 63 ÷ 100 = 37.17. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59%*63. 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

37.17 is the 59% share of 63. The remaining 41% is 25.83, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 59% off an item priced $63 saves $37.17, so you pay $25.83.

Adding and taking away 59%

Increasing 63 by 59% gives 100.17 and decreasing it by 59% gives 25.83. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 41.0697, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
