How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
- Multiply: 0.85 × 51 = 43.35
- Check: Work backwards: 43.35 ÷ 51 × 100 = 85%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/100 = part/51, so part = 85 × 51 ÷ 100 = 43.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =85%*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
43.35 is the 85% share of 51. The remaining 15% is 7.65, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Adding and taking away 85%
Increasing 51 by 85% gives 94.35 and decreasing it by 85% gives 7.65. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 85% and then lowering the result by 85% ends at 14.1525, because the second 85% is taken of a bigger number.
