How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 81 ÷ 100 = 0.81
  2. Multiply: 0.81 × 80 = 64.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 64.8 ÷ 80 × 100 = 81%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 81/100 = part/80, so part = 81 × 80 ÷ 100 = 64.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =81%*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

64.8 is the 81% share of 80. The remaining 19% is 15.2, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 81% off an item priced $80 saves $64.8, so you pay $15.2.

Adding and taking away 81%

Increasing 80 by 81% gives 144.8 and decreasing it by 81% gives 15.2. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 81% and then lowering the result by 81% ends at 27.512, because the second 81% is taken of a bigger number.
