How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 85 = 57.8
- Check: Work backwards: 57.8 ÷ 85 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/85, so part = 68 × 85 ÷ 100 = 57.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*85. 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

Adding and taking away 68%
Increasing 85 by 68% gives 142.8 and decreasing it by 68% gives 27.2. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 45.696, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
