How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 83 = 52.29
  3. Check: Work backwards: 52.29 ÷ 83 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/83, so part = 63 × 83 ÷ 100 = 52.29. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*83. 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

52.29 is the 63% share of 83. The remaining 37% is 30.71, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $83 saves $52.29, so you pay $30.71.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 83 by 63% gives 135.29 and decreasing it by 63% gives 30.71. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 50.0573, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
