How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 100 = 14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14 ÷ 100 × 100 = 14%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =14%*100. 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

14 is the 14% share of 100. The remaining 86% is 86, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $100 saves $14, so you pay $86.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 100 by 14% gives 114 and decreasing it by 14% gives 86. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 98.04, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
