How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 76 ÷ 100 = 0.76
  2. Multiply: 0.76 × 2 = 1.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.52 ÷ 2 × 100 = 76%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 76/100 = part/2, so part = 76 × 2 ÷ 100 = 1.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =76%*2. 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

1.52 is the 76% share of 2. The remaining 24% is 0.48, and the two parts add back up to 2.

Discounts: 76% off an item priced $2 saves $1.52, so you pay $0.48.

Adding and taking away 76%

Increasing 2 by 76% gives 3.52 and decreasing it by 76% gives 0.48. These do not cancel out: raising 2 by 76% and then lowering the result by 76% ends at 0.8448, because the second 76% is taken of a bigger number.
