How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
- Multiply: 0.71 × 15 = 10.65
- Check: Work backwards: 10.65 ÷ 15 × 100 = 71%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/15, so part = 71 × 15 ÷ 100 = 10.65. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =71%*15. 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
10.65 is the 71% share of 15. The remaining 29% is 4.35, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 71% off an item priced $15 saves $10.65, so you pay $4.35.
Adding and taking away 71%
Increasing 15 by 71% gives 25.65 and decreasing it by 71% gives 4.35. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 7.4385, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
