How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
- Multiply: 0.87 × 65 = 56.55
- Check: Work backwards: 56.55 ÷ 65 × 100 = 87%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/65, so part = 87 × 65 ÷ 100 = 56.55. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =87%*65. 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

Adding and taking away 87%
Increasing 65 by 87% gives 121.55 and decreasing it by 87% gives 8.45. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 15.8015, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
