How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 71 = 59.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.64 ÷ 71 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/71, so part = 84 × 71 ÷ 100 = 59.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

59.64 is the 84% share of 71. The remaining 16% is 11.36, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $71 saves $59.64, so you pay $11.36.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 71 by 84% gives 130.64 and decreasing it by 84% gives 11.36. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 20.9024, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
