How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
- Multiply: 0.63 × 85 = 53.55
- Check: Work backwards: 53.55 ÷ 85 × 100 = 63%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/85, so part = 63 × 85 ÷ 100 = 53.55. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =63%*85. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
