How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 7 = 0.84
- Check: Work backwards: 0.84 ÷ 7 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/7, so part = 12 × 7 ÷ 100 = 0.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*7. 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
0.84 is the 12% share of 7. The remaining 88% is 6.16, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 12% off an item priced $7 saves $0.84, so you pay $6.16.
Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 7 by 12% gives 7.84 and decreasing it by 12% gives 6.16. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 6.8992, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
