How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
- Multiply: 0.77 × 50 = 38.5
- Check: Work backwards: 38.5 ÷ 50 × 100 = 77%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/50, so part = 77 × 50 ÷ 100 = 38.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =77%*50. 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
38.5 is the 77% share of 50. The remaining 23% is 11.5, and the two parts add back up to 50.
Discounts: 77% off an item priced $50 saves $38.5, so you pay $11.5.
Adding and taking away 77%
Increasing 50 by 77% gives 88.5 and decreasing it by 77% gives 11.5. These do not cancel out: raising 50 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 20.355, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
