How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
  2. Multiply: 0.12 × 14 = 1.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.68 ÷ 14 × 100 = 12%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/14, so part = 12 × 14 ÷ 100 = 1.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12%*14. 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

1.68 is the 12% share of 14. The remaining 88% is 12.32, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 12% off an item priced $14 saves $1.68, so you pay $12.32.

Adding and taking away 12%

Increasing 14 by 12% gives 15.68 and decreasing it by 12% gives 12.32. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 13.7984, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
