How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 84 = 59.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.64 ÷ 84 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/84, so part = 71 × 84 ÷ 100 = 59.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*84. 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

59.64 is the 71% share of 84. The remaining 29% is 24.36, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $84 saves $59.64, so you pay $24.36.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 84 by 71% gives 143.64 and decreasing it by 71% gives 24.36. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 41.6556, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
