How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 69 ÷ 100 = 0.69
- Multiply: 0.69 × 55 = 37.95
- Check: Work backwards: 37.95 ÷ 55 × 100 = 69%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 69/100 = part/55, so part = 69 × 55 ÷ 100 = 37.95. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =69%*55. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 69%
Increasing 55 by 69% gives 92.95 and decreasing it by 69% gives 17.05. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 69% and then lowering the result by 69% ends at 28.8145, because the second 69% is taken of a bigger number.
