How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
- Multiply: 0.72 × 35 = 25.2
- Check: Work backwards: 25.2 ÷ 35 × 100 = 72%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/35, so part = 72 × 35 ÷ 100 = 25.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =72%*35. 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
25.2 is the 72% share of 35. The remaining 28% is 9.8, and the two parts add back up to 35.
Discounts: 72% off an item priced $35 saves $25.2, so you pay $9.8.
Adding and taking away 72%
Increasing 35 by 72% gives 60.2 and decreasing it by 72% gives 9.8. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 16.856, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
