How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 15 = 9.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.45 ÷ 15 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/15, so part = 63 × 15 ÷ 100 = 9.45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*15. 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

9.45 is the 63% share of 15. The remaining 37% is 5.55, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $15 saves $9.45, so you pay $5.55.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 15 by 63% gives 24.45 and decreasing it by 63% gives 5.55. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 9.0465, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
