How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 21 = 13.23
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.23 ÷ 21 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/21, so part = 63 × 21 ÷ 100 = 13.23. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*21. 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

13.23 is the 63% share of 21. The remaining 37% is 7.77, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $21 saves $13.23, so you pay $7.77.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 21 by 63% gives 34.23 and decreasing it by 63% gives 7.77. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 12.6651, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
