How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 76 ÷ 100 = 0.76
  2. Multiply: 0.76 × 27 = 20.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.52 ÷ 27 × 100 = 76%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 76/100 = part/27, so part = 76 × 27 ÷ 100 = 20.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =76%*27. 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

20.52 is the 76% share of 27. The remaining 24% is 6.48, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 76% off an item priced $27 saves $20.52, so you pay $6.48.

Adding and taking away 76%

Increasing 27 by 76% gives 47.52 and decreasing it by 76% gives 6.48. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 76% and then lowering the result by 76% ends at 11.4048, because the second 76% is taken of a bigger number.
