How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
- Multiply: 0.6 × 60 = 36
- Check: Work backwards: 36 ÷ 60 × 100 = 60%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/100 = part/60, so part = 60 × 60 ÷ 100 = 36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =60%*60. 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
36 is the 60% share of 60. The remaining 40% is 24, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 60% off an item priced $60 saves $36, so you pay $24.
Adding and taking away 60%
Increasing 60 by 60% gives 96 and decreasing it by 60% gives 24. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 60% and then lowering the result by 60% ends at 38.4, because the second 60% is taken of a bigger number.
