How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 60 = 46.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.2 ÷ 60 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/60, so part = 77 × 60 ÷ 100 = 46.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*60. 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

46.2 is the 77% share of 60. The remaining 23% is 13.8, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $60 saves $46.2, so you pay $13.8.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 60 by 77% gives 106.2 and decreasing it by 77% gives 13.8. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 24.426, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
