How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
- Multiply: 0.06 × 35 = 2.1
- Check: Work backwards: 2.1 ÷ 35 × 100 = 6%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/35, so part = 6 × 35 ÷ 100 = 2.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =6%*35. 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
2.1 is the 6% share of 35. The remaining 94% is 32.9, and the two parts add back up to 35.
Discounts: 6% off an item priced $35 saves $2.1, so you pay $32.9.
Adding and taking away 6%
Increasing 35 by 6% gives 37.1 and decreasing it by 6% gives 32.9. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 34.874, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
