How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
- Multiply: 0.95 × 55 = 52.25
- Check: Work backwards: 52.25 ÷ 55 × 100 = 95%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/55, so part = 95 × 55 ÷ 100 = 52.25. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =95%*55. 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 95%
Increasing 55 by 95% gives 107.25 and decreasing it by 95% gives 2.75. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 5.3625, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
