How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 51 = 42.33
- Check: Work backwards: 42.33 ÷ 51 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/51, so part = 83 × 51 ÷ 100 = 42.33. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*51. 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
42.33 is the 83% share of 51. The remaining 17% is 8.67, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 51 by 83% gives 93.33 and decreasing it by 83% gives 8.67. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 15.8661, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
