How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 36 = 25.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.2 ÷ 36 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/36, so part = 70 × 36 ÷ 100 = 25.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*36. 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

25.2 is the 70% share of 36. The remaining 30% is 10.8, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $36 saves $25.2, so you pay $10.8.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 36 by 70% gives 61.2 and decreasing it by 70% gives 10.8. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 18.36, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
