How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 32 = 20.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.48 ÷ 32 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/32, so part = 64 × 32 ÷ 100 = 20.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*32. 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

20.48 is the 64% share of 32. The remaining 36% is 11.52, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $32 saves $20.48, so you pay $11.52.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 32 by 64% gives 52.48 and decreasing it by 64% gives 11.52. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 18.8928, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
