How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 36 = 34.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.56 ÷ 36 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/36, so part = 96 × 36 ÷ 100 = 34.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*36. 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

34.56 is the 96% share of 36. The remaining 4% is 1.44, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $36 saves $34.56, so you pay $1.44.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 36 by 96% gives 70.56 and decreasing it by 96% gives 1.44. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 2.8224, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
