How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
- Multiply: 0.06 × 58 = 3.48
- Check: Work backwards: 3.48 ÷ 58 × 100 = 6%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/58, so part = 6 × 58 ÷ 100 = 3.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =6%*58. 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

Adding and taking away 6%
Increasing 58 by 6% gives 61.48 and decreasing it by 6% gives 54.52. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 57.7912, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
