How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 36 = 2.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.52 ÷ 36 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/36, so part = 7 × 36 ÷ 100 = 2.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*36. 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

2.52 is the 7% share of 36. The remaining 93% is 33.48, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $36 saves $2.52, so you pay $33.48.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 36 by 7% gives 38.52 and decreasing it by 7% gives 33.48. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 35.8236, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
