How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
- Multiply: 0.79 × 80 = 63.2
- Check: Work backwards: 63.2 ÷ 80 × 100 = 79%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/80, so part = 79 × 80 ÷ 100 = 63.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =79%*80. 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
63.2 is the 79% share of 80. The remaining 21% is 16.8, and the two parts add back up to 80.
Discounts: 79% off an item priced $80 saves $63.2, so you pay $16.8.
Adding and taking away 79%
Increasing 80 by 79% gives 143.2 and decreasing it by 79% gives 16.8. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 79% and then lowering the result by 79% ends at 30.072, because the second 79% is taken of a bigger number.
