How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 35 = 24.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.5 ÷ 35 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/35, so part = 70 × 35 ÷ 100 = 24.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*35. 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

24.5 is the 70% share of 35. The remaining 30% is 10.5, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $35 saves $24.5, so you pay $10.5.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 35 by 70% gives 59.5 and decreasing it by 70% gives 10.5. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 17.85, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
