How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
- Multiply: 0.79 × 96 = 75.84
- Check: Work backwards: 75.84 ÷ 96 × 100 = 79%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/96, so part = 79 × 96 ÷ 100 = 75.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =79%*96. 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 96 by 79% gives 171.84 and decreasing it by 79% gives 20.16. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 79% and then lowering the result by 79% ends at 36.0864, because the second 79% is taken of a bigger number.
