How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
- Multiply: 0.59 × 83 = 48.97
- Check: Work backwards: 48.97 ÷ 83 × 100 = 59%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/83, so part = 59 × 83 ÷ 100 = 48.97. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =59%*83. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 59%
Increasing 83 by 59% gives 131.97 and decreasing it by 59% gives 34.03. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 54.1077, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
