How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 71 = 4.97
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.97 ÷ 71 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/71, so part = 7 × 71 ÷ 100 = 4.97. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*71. 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

4.97 is the 7% share of 71. The remaining 93% is 66.03, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $71 saves $4.97, so you pay $66.03.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 71 by 7% gives 75.97 and decreasing it by 7% gives 66.03. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 70.6521, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
