How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 87 = 55.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.68 ÷ 87 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/87, so part = 64 × 87 ÷ 100 = 55.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*87. 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

55.68 is the 64% share of 87. The remaining 36% is 31.32, and the two parts add back up to 87.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $87 saves $55.68, so you pay $31.32.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 87 by 64% gives 142.68 and decreasing it by 64% gives 31.32. These do not cancel out: raising 87 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 51.3648, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
