How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 69 ÷ 100 = 0.69
  2. Multiply: 0.69 × 10 = 6.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.9 ÷ 10 × 100 = 69%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 69/100 = part/10, so part = 69 × 10 ÷ 100 = 6.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =69%*10. 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

6.9 is the 69% share of 10. The remaining 31% is 3.1, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 69% off an item priced $10 saves $6.9, so you pay $3.1.

Adding and taking away 69%

Increasing 10 by 69% gives 16.9 and decreasing it by 69% gives 3.1. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 69% and then lowering the result by 69% ends at 5.239, because the second 69% is taken of a bigger number.
