How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
  2. Multiply: 0.65 × 71 = 46.15
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.15 ÷ 71 × 100 = 65%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/71, so part = 65 × 71 ÷ 100 = 46.15. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65%*71. 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

46.15 is the 65% share of 71. The remaining 35% is 24.85, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 65% off an item priced $71 saves $46.15, so you pay $24.85.

Adding and taking away 65%

Increasing 71 by 65% gives 117.15 and decreasing it by 65% gives 24.85. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 41.0025, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
