How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 60 = 57.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.6 ÷ 60 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/60, so part = 96 × 60 ÷ 100 = 57.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*60. 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

57.6 is the 96% share of 60. The remaining 4% is 2.4, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $60 saves $57.6, so you pay $2.4.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 60 by 96% gives 117.6 and decreasing it by 96% gives 2.4. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 4.704, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
