How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 27 = 17.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.28 ÷ 27 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/27, so part = 64 × 27 ÷ 100 = 17.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*27. 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

17.28 is the 64% share of 27. The remaining 36% is 9.72, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $27 saves $17.28, so you pay $9.72.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 27 by 64% gives 44.28 and decreasing it by 64% gives 9.72. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 15.9408, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
