How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 80 ÷ 100 = 0.8
- Multiply: 0.8 × 60 = 48
- Check: Work backwards: 48 ÷ 60 × 100 = 80%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 80/100 = part/60, so part = 80 × 60 ÷ 100 = 48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =80%*60. 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
48 is the 80% share of 60. The remaining 20% is 12, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 80% off an item priced $60 saves $48, so you pay $12.
Adding and taking away 80%
Increasing 60 by 80% gives 108 and decreasing it by 80% gives 12. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 80% and then lowering the result by 80% ends at 21.6, because the second 80% is taken of a bigger number.
