How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 68 = 42.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.84 ÷ 68 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/68, so part = 63 × 68 ÷ 100 = 42.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*68. 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

42.84 is the 63% share of 68. The remaining 37% is 25.16, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $68 saves $42.84, so you pay $25.16.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 68 by 63% gives 110.84 and decreasing it by 63% gives 25.16. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 41.0108, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
