How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 71 = 68.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 68.16 ÷ 71 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/71, so part = 96 × 71 ÷ 100 = 68.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*71. 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

68.16 is the 96% share of 71. The remaining 4% is 2.84, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $71 saves $68.16, so you pay $2.84.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 71 by 96% gives 139.16 and decreasing it by 96% gives 2.84. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 5.5664, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
