How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
- Multiply: 0.71 × 60 = 42.6
- Check: Work backwards: 42.6 ÷ 60 × 100 = 71%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/60, so part = 71 × 60 ÷ 100 = 42.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =71%*60. 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
42.6 is the 71% share of 60. The remaining 29% is 17.4, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 71% off an item priced $60 saves $42.6, so you pay $17.4.
Adding and taking away 71%
Increasing 60 by 71% gives 102.6 and decreasing it by 71% gives 17.4. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 29.754, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
