How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 85 = 65.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65.45 ÷ 85 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/85, so part = 77 × 85 ÷ 100 = 65.45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*85. 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

65.45 is the 77% share of 85. The remaining 23% is 19.55, and the two parts add back up to 85.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $85 saves $65.45, so you pay $19.55.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 85 by 77% gives 150.45 and decreasing it by 77% gives 19.55. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 34.6035, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
