How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 76 = 5.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.32 ÷ 76 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/76, so part = 7 × 76 ÷ 100 = 5.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*76. 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

5.32 is the 7% share of 76. The remaining 93% is 70.68, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $76 saves $5.32, so you pay $70.68.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 76 by 7% gives 81.32 and decreasing it by 7% gives 70.68. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 75.6276, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
