How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 21 = 13.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.44 ÷ 21 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/21, so part = 64 × 21 ÷ 100 = 13.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*21. 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

13.44 is the 64% share of 21. The remaining 36% is 7.56, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $21 saves $13.44, so you pay $7.56.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 21 by 64% gives 34.44 and decreasing it by 64% gives 7.56. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 12.3984, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
