How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 79 = 75.84
- Check: Work backwards: 75.84 ÷ 79 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/79, so part = 96 × 79 ÷ 100 = 75.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*79. 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 96%
Increasing 79 by 96% gives 154.84 and decreasing it by 96% gives 3.16. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 6.1936, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
