How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 78 ÷ 100 = 0.78
- Multiply: 0.78 × 65 = 50.7
- Check: Work backwards: 50.7 ÷ 65 × 100 = 78%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/100 = part/65, so part = 78 × 65 ÷ 100 = 50.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =78%*65. 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
50.7 is the 78% share of 65. The remaining 22% is 14.3, and the two parts add back up to 65.

Adding and taking away 78%
Increasing 65 by 78% gives 115.7 and decreasing it by 78% gives 14.3. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 78% and then lowering the result by 78% ends at 25.454, because the second 78% is taken of a bigger number.
