How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
- Multiply: 0.87 × 7 = 6.09
- Check: Work backwards: 6.09 ÷ 7 × 100 = 87%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/7, so part = 87 × 7 ÷ 100 = 6.09. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =87%*7. 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
6.09 is the 87% share of 7. The remaining 13% is 0.91, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 87% off an item priced $7 saves $6.09, so you pay $0.91.
Adding and taking away 87%
Increasing 7 by 87% gives 13.09 and decreasing it by 87% gives 0.91. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 1.7017, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
