How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
- Multiply: 0.87 × 77 = 66.99
- Check: Work backwards: 66.99 ÷ 77 × 100 = 87%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/77, so part = 87 × 77 ÷ 100 = 66.99. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =87%*77. 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 77 by 87% gives 143.99 and decreasing it by 87% gives 10.01. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 18.7187, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
