How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 69 ÷ 100 = 0.69
  2. Multiply: 0.69 × 5 = 3.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.45 ÷ 5 × 100 = 69%.

In a spreadsheet: =69%*5. 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

3.45 is the 69% share of 5. The remaining 31% is 1.55, and the two parts add back up to 5.

Discounts: 69% off an item priced $5 saves $3.45, so you pay $1.55.

Adding and taking away 69%

Increasing 5 by 69% gives 8.45 and decreasing it by 69% gives 1.55. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 69% and then lowering the result by 69% ends at 2.6195, because the second 69% is taken of a bigger number.
