How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
- Multiply: 0.59 × 71 = 41.89
- Check: Work backwards: 41.89 ÷ 71 × 100 = 59%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/71, so part = 59 × 71 ÷ 100 = 41.89. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =59%*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.
