How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 60 = 37.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.8 ÷ 60 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/60, so part = 63 × 60 ÷ 100 = 37.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*60. 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

37.8 is the 63% share of 60. The remaining 37% is 22.2, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $60 saves $37.8, so you pay $22.2.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 60 by 63% gives 97.8 and decreasing it by 63% gives 22.2. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 36.186, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
