How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
  2. Multiply: 0.68 × 63 = 42.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.84 ÷ 63 × 100 = 68%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/63, so part = 68 × 63 ÷ 100 = 42.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68%*63. 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

42.84 is the 68% share of 63. The remaining 32% is 20.16, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 68% off an item priced $63 saves $42.84, so you pay $20.16.

Adding and taking away 68%

Increasing 63 by 68% gives 105.84 and decreasing it by 68% gives 20.16. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 33.8688, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
