How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 36 = 27.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.72 ÷ 36 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/36, so part = 77 × 36 ÷ 100 = 27.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*36. 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

27.72 is the 77% share of 36. The remaining 23% is 8.28, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $36 saves $27.72, so you pay $8.28.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 36 by 77% gives 63.72 and decreasing it by 77% gives 8.28. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 14.6556, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
