How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
- Multiply: 0.71 × 3 = 2.13
- Check: Work backwards: 2.13 ÷ 3 × 100 = 71%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/3, so part = 71 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2.13. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =71%*3. 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
2.13 is the 71% share of 3. The remaining 29% is 0.87, and the two parts add back up to 3.
Discounts: 71% off an item priced $3 saves $2.13, so you pay $0.87.
Adding and taking away 71%
Increasing 3 by 71% gives 5.13 and decreasing it by 71% gives 0.87. These do not cancel out: raising 3 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 1.4877, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
