How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 76 ÷ 100 = 0.76
  2. Multiply: 0.76 × 10 = 7.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.6 ÷ 10 × 100 = 76%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 76/100 = part/10, so part = 76 × 10 ÷ 100 = 7.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =76%*10. 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

7.6 is the 76% share of 10. The remaining 24% is 2.4, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 76% off an item priced $10 saves $7.6, so you pay $2.4.

Adding and taking away 76%

Increasing 10 by 76% gives 17.6 and decreasing it by 76% gives 2.4. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 76% and then lowering the result by 76% ends at 4.224, because the second 76% is taken of a bigger number.
