How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
  2. Multiply: 0.6 × 77 = 46.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.2 ÷ 77 × 100 = 60%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/100 = part/77, so part = 60 × 77 ÷ 100 = 46.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60%*77. 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

46.2 is the 60% share of 77. The remaining 40% is 30.8, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 60% off an item priced $77 saves $46.2, so you pay $30.8.

Adding and taking away 60%

Increasing 77 by 60% gives 123.2 and decreasing it by 60% gives 30.8. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 60% and then lowering the result by 60% ends at 49.28, because the second 60% is taken of a bigger number.
