How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 2 = 1.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.54 ÷ 2 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/2, so part = 77 × 2 ÷ 100 = 1.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*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

1.54 is the 77% share of 2. The remaining 23% is 0.46, and the two parts add back up to 2.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $2 saves $1.54, so you pay $0.46.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 2 by 77% gives 3.54 and decreasing it by 77% gives 0.46. These do not cancel out: raising 2 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 0.8142, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
