How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 69 ÷ 100 = 0.69
- Multiply: 0.69 × 42 = 28.98
- Check: Work backwards: 28.98 ÷ 42 × 100 = 69%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 69/100 = part/42, so part = 69 × 42 ÷ 100 = 28.98. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =69%*42. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
