How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 100 = 71
  3. Check: Work backwards: 71 ÷ 100 × 100 = 71%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =71%*100. 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

71 is the 71% share of 100. The remaining 29% is 29, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $100 saves $71, so you pay $29.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 100 by 71% gives 171 and decreasing it by 71% gives 29. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 49.59, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
