How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 96 = 68.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 68.16 ÷ 96 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/96, so part = 71 × 96 ÷ 100 = 68.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*96. 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

68.16 is the 71% share of 96. The remaining 29% is 27.84, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $96 saves $68.16, so you pay $27.84.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 96 by 71% gives 164.16 and decreasing it by 71% gives 27.84. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 47.6064, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
