How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 68 = 4.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.76 ÷ 68 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/68, so part = 7 × 68 ÷ 100 = 4.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*68. 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

4.76 is the 7% share of 68. The remaining 93% is 63.24, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $68 saves $4.76, so you pay $63.24.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 68 by 7% gives 72.76 and decreasing it by 7% gives 63.24. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 67.6668, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
