How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 92 ÷ 100 = 0.92
- Multiply: 0.92 × 42 = 38.64
- Check: Work backwards: 38.64 ÷ 42 × 100 = 92%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 92/100 = part/42, so part = 92 × 42 ÷ 100 = 38.64. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =92%*42. 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 92%
Increasing 42 by 92% gives 80.64 and decreasing it by 92% gives 3.36. These do not cancel out: raising 42 by 92% and then lowering the result by 92% ends at 6.4512, because the second 92% is taken of a bigger number.
