How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 5 = 3.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.2 ÷ 5 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/5, so part = 64 × 5 ÷ 100 = 3.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*5. 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

3.2 is the 64% share of 5. The remaining 36% is 1.8, and the two parts add back up to 5.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $5 saves $3.2, so you pay $1.8.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 5 by 64% gives 8.2 and decreasing it by 64% gives 1.8. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 2.952, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
