How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
  2. Multiply: 0.85 × 64 = 54.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.4 ÷ 64 × 100 = 85%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/100 = part/64, so part = 85 × 64 ÷ 100 = 54.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =85%*64. 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

54.4 is the 85% share of 64. The remaining 15% is 9.6, and the two parts add back up to 64.

Discounts: 85% off an item priced $64 saves $54.4, so you pay $9.6.

Adding and taking away 85%

Increasing 64 by 85% gives 118.4 and decreasing it by 85% gives 9.6. These do not cancel out: raising 64 by 85% and then lowering the result by 85% ends at 17.76, because the second 85% is taken of a bigger number.
