How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 76 ÷ 100 = 0.76
- Multiply: 0.76 × 42 = 31.92
- Check: Work backwards: 31.92 ÷ 42 × 100 = 76%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 76/100 = part/42, so part = 76 × 42 ÷ 100 = 31.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =76%*42. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 76%
Increasing 42 by 76% gives 73.92 and decreasing it by 76% gives 10.08. These do not cancel out: raising 42 by 76% and then lowering the result by 76% ends at 17.7408, because the second 76% is taken of a bigger number.
