How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 86 ÷ 100 = 0.86
- Multiply: 0.86 × 87 = 74.82
- Check: Work backwards: 74.82 ÷ 87 × 100 = 86%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 86/100 = part/87, so part = 86 × 87 ÷ 100 = 74.82. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =86%*87. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
