How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 59 = 35.99
- Check: Work backwards: 35.99 ÷ 59 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/59, so part = 61 × 59 ÷ 100 = 35.99. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*59. 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
35.99 is the 61% share of 59. The remaining 39% is 23.01, and the two parts add back up to 59.

Adding and taking away 61%
Increasing 59 by 61% gives 94.99 and decreasing it by 61% gives 23.01. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 37.0461, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
