How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
- Multiply: 0.07 × 56 = 3.92
- Check: Work backwards: 3.92 ÷ 56 × 100 = 7%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/56, so part = 7 × 56 ÷ 100 = 3.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =7%*56. 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 56 by 7% gives 59.92 and decreasing it by 7% gives 52.08. These do not cancel out: raising 56 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 55.7256, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
