How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
- Multiply: 0.06 × 51 = 3.06
- Check: Work backwards: 3.06 ÷ 51 × 100 = 6%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/51, so part = 6 × 51 ÷ 100 = 3.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =6%*51. 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
3.06 is the 6% share of 51. The remaining 94% is 47.94, and the two parts add back up to 51.
Discounts: 6% off an item priced $51 saves $3.06, so you pay $47.94.
Adding and taking away 6%
Increasing 51 by 6% gives 54.06 and decreasing it by 6% gives 47.94. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 50.8164, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
