How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
- Multiply: 0.06 × 71 = 4.26
- Check: Work backwards: 4.26 ÷ 71 × 100 = 6%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/71, so part = 6 × 71 ÷ 100 = 4.26. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =6%*71. 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
4.26 is the 6% share of 71. The remaining 94% is 66.74, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Adding and taking away 6%
Increasing 71 by 6% gives 75.26 and decreasing it by 6% gives 66.74. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 70.7444, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
