How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
- Multiply: 0.07 × 27 = 1.89
- Check: Work backwards: 1.89 ÷ 27 × 100 = 7%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/27, so part = 7 × 27 ÷ 100 = 1.89. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =7%*27. 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 7%
Increasing 27 by 7% gives 28.89 and decreasing it by 7% gives 25.11. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 26.8677, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
