How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
- Multiply: 0.72 × 13 = 9.36
- Check: Work backwards: 9.36 ÷ 13 × 100 = 72%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/13, so part = 72 × 13 ÷ 100 = 9.36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =72%*13. 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
9.36 is the 72% share of 13. The remaining 28% is 3.64, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Adding and taking away 72%
Increasing 13 by 72% gives 22.36 and decreasing it by 72% gives 3.64. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 6.2608, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
