How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
  2. Multiply: 0.65 × 25 = 16.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.25 ÷ 25 × 100 = 65%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/25, so part = 65 × 25 ÷ 100 = 16.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65%*25. 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

16.25 is the 65% share of 25. The remaining 35% is 8.75, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 65% off an item priced $25 saves $16.25, so you pay $8.75.

Adding and taking away 65%

Increasing 25 by 65% gives 41.25 and decreasing it by 65% gives 8.75. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 14.4375, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
