How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
- Multiply: 0.7 × 70 = 49
- Check: Work backwards: 49 ÷ 70 × 100 = 70%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/70, so part = 70 × 70 ÷ 100 = 49. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =70%*70. 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
49 is the 70% share of 70. The remaining 30% is 21, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 70% off an item priced $70 saves $49, so you pay $21.
Adding and taking away 70%
Increasing 70 by 70% gives 119 and decreasing it by 70% gives 21. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 35.7, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
