How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 87 = 61.77
  3. Check: Work backwards: 61.77 ÷ 87 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/87, so part = 71 × 87 ÷ 100 = 61.77. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*87. 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

61.77 is the 71% share of 87. The remaining 29% is 25.23, and the two parts add back up to 87.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $87 saves $61.77, so you pay $25.23.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 87 by 71% gives 148.77 and decreasing it by 71% gives 25.23. These do not cancel out: raising 87 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 43.1433, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
