How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
- Multiply: 0.85 × 25 = 21.25
- Check: Work backwards: 21.25 ÷ 25 × 100 = 85%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/100 = part/25, so part = 85 × 25 ÷ 100 = 21.25. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =85%*25. 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
21.25 is the 85% share of 25. The remaining 15% is 3.75, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Adding and taking away 85%
Increasing 25 by 85% gives 46.25 and decreasing it by 85% gives 3.75. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 85% and then lowering the result by 85% ends at 6.9375, because the second 85% is taken of a bigger number.
