How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
- Multiply: 0.77 × 79 = 60.83
- Check: Work backwards: 60.83 ÷ 79 × 100 = 77%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/79, so part = 77 × 79 ÷ 100 = 60.83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =77%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 77%
Increasing 79 by 77% gives 139.83 and decreasing it by 77% gives 18.17. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 32.1609, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
