How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
- Multiply: 0.79 × 63 = 49.77
- Check: Work backwards: 49.77 ÷ 63 × 100 = 79%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/63, so part = 79 × 63 ÷ 100 = 49.77. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =79%*63. 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 79%
Increasing 63 by 79% gives 112.77 and decreasing it by 79% gives 13.23. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 79% and then lowering the result by 79% ends at 23.6817, because the second 79% is taken of a bigger number.
