How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 20 = 13.6
- Check: Work backwards: 13.6 ÷ 20 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/20, so part = 68 × 20 ÷ 100 = 13.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*20. 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
13.6 is the 68% share of 20. The remaining 32% is 6.4, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 68% off an item priced $20 saves $13.6, so you pay $6.4.
Adding and taking away 68%
Increasing 20 by 68% gives 33.6 and decreasing it by 68% gives 6.4. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 10.752, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
