How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 80 ÷ 100 = 0.8
- Multiply: 0.8 × 71 = 56.8
- Check: Work backwards: 56.8 ÷ 71 × 100 = 80%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 80/100 = part/71, so part = 80 × 71 ÷ 100 = 56.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =80%*71. 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
56.8 is the 80% share of 71. The remaining 20% is 14.2, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Adding and taking away 80%
Increasing 71 by 80% gives 127.8 and decreasing it by 80% gives 14.2. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 80% and then lowering the result by 80% ends at 25.56, because the second 80% is taken of a bigger number.
