How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 87 = 54.81
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.81 ÷ 87 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/87, so part = 63 × 87 ÷ 100 = 54.81. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*87. 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

54.81 is the 63% share of 87. The remaining 37% is 32.19, and the two parts add back up to 87.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $87 saves $54.81, so you pay $32.19.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 87 by 63% gives 141.81 and decreasing it by 63% gives 32.19. These do not cancel out: raising 87 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 52.4697, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
