How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
- Multiply: 0.59 × 80 = 47.2
- Check: Work backwards: 47.2 ÷ 80 × 100 = 59%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/80, so part = 59 × 80 ÷ 100 = 47.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =59%*80. 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
47.2 is the 59% share of 80. The remaining 41% is 32.8, and the two parts add back up to 80.
Discounts: 59% off an item priced $80 saves $47.2, so you pay $32.8.
Adding and taking away 59%
Increasing 80 by 59% gives 127.2 and decreasing it by 59% gives 32.8. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 52.152, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
