How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 60 = 38.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 38.4 ÷ 60 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/60, so part = 64 × 60 ÷ 100 = 38.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*60. 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

38.4 is the 64% share of 60. The remaining 36% is 21.6, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $60 saves $38.4, so you pay $21.6.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 60 by 64% gives 98.4 and decreasing it by 64% gives 21.6. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 35.424, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
