How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
- Multiply: 0.71 × 55 = 39.05
- Check: Work backwards: 39.05 ÷ 55 × 100 = 71%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/55, so part = 71 × 55 ÷ 100 = 39.05. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =71%*55. 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

Adding and taking away 71%
Increasing 55 by 71% gives 94.05 and decreasing it by 71% gives 15.95. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 27.2745, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
