How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 36 = 25.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.56 ÷ 36 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/36, so part = 71 × 36 ÷ 100 = 25.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

25.56 is the 71% share of 36. The remaining 29% is 10.44, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $36 saves $25.56, so you pay $10.44.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 36 by 71% gives 61.56 and decreasing it by 71% gives 10.44. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 17.8524, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
