How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Multiply: 0.75 × 20 = 15
- Check: Work backwards: 15 ÷ 20 × 100 = 75%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/20, so part = 75 × 20 ÷ 100 = 15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =75%*20. 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
15 is the 75% share of 20. The remaining 25% is 5, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 75% off an item priced $20 saves $15, so you pay $5.
Adding and taking away 75%
Increasing 20 by 75% gives 35 and decreasing it by 75% gives 5. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 8.75, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
