How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 21 = 14.28
- Check: Work backwards: 14.28 ÷ 21 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/21, so part = 68 × 21 ÷ 100 = 14.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*21. 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
14.28 is the 68% share of 21. The remaining 32% is 6.72, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Adding and taking away 68%
Increasing 21 by 68% gives 35.28 and decreasing it by 68% gives 6.72. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 11.2896, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
