How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
- Multiply: 0.79 × 25 = 19.75
- Check: Work backwards: 19.75 ÷ 25 × 100 = 79%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/25, so part = 79 × 25 ÷ 100 = 19.75. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =79%*25. 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 79%
Increasing 25 by 79% gives 44.75 and decreasing it by 79% gives 5.25. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 79% and then lowering the result by 79% ends at 9.3975, because the second 79% is taken of a bigger number.
