How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 59 = 4.13
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.13 ÷ 59 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/59, so part = 7 × 59 ÷ 100 = 4.13. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*59. 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

4.13 is the 7% share of 59. The remaining 93% is 54.87, and the two parts add back up to 59.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $59 saves $4.13, so you pay $54.87.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 59 by 7% gives 63.13 and decreasing it by 7% gives 54.87. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 58.7109, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
