How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 12 = 7.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.68 ÷ 12 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/12, so part = 64 × 12 ÷ 100 = 7.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*12. 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

7.68 is the 64% share of 12. The remaining 36% is 4.32, and the two parts add back up to 12.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $12 saves $7.68, so you pay $4.32.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 12 by 64% gives 19.68 and decreasing it by 64% gives 4.32. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 7.0848, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
