How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
- Multiply: 0.77 × 55 = 42.35
- Check: Work backwards: 42.35 ÷ 55 × 100 = 77%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/55, so part = 77 × 55 ÷ 100 = 42.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =77%*55. 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

Adding and taking away 77%
Increasing 55 by 77% gives 97.35 and decreasing it by 77% gives 12.65. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 22.3905, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
