How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
- Multiply: 0.65 × 10 = 6.5
- Check: Work backwards: 6.5 ÷ 10 × 100 = 65%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/10, so part = 65 × 10 ÷ 100 = 6.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =65%*10. 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
6.5 is the 65% share of 10. The remaining 35% is 3.5, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 65% off an item priced $10 saves $6.5, so you pay $3.5.
Adding and taking away 65%
Increasing 10 by 65% gives 16.5 and decreasing it by 65% gives 3.5. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 5.775, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
