How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 7 = 0.49
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.49 ÷ 7 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/7, so part = 7 × 7 ÷ 100 = 0.49. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*7. 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

0.49 is the 7% share of 7. The remaining 93% is 6.51, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $7 saves $0.49, so you pay $6.51.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 7 by 7% gives 7.49 and decreasing it by 7% gives 6.51. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 6.9657, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
