How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 100 = 63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 63 ÷ 100 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/100, so part = 63 × 100 ÷ 100 = 63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*100. 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

63 is the 63% share of 100. The remaining 37% is 37, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $100 saves $63, so you pay $37.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 100 by 63% gives 163 and decreasing it by 63% gives 37. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 60.31, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
