How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 67 ÷ 100 = 0.67
- Multiply: 0.67 × 42 = 28.14
- Check: Work backwards: 28.14 ÷ 42 × 100 = 67%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 67/100 = part/42, so part = 67 × 42 ÷ 100 = 28.14. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =67%*42. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 67%
Increasing 42 by 67% gives 70.14 and decreasing it by 67% gives 13.86. These do not cancel out: raising 42 by 67% and then lowering the result by 67% ends at 23.1462, because the second 67% is taken of a bigger number.
