How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
- Multiply: 0.14 × 16 = 2.24
- Check: Work backwards: 2.24 ÷ 16 × 100 = 14%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/16, so part = 14 × 16 ÷ 100 = 2.24. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =14%*16. 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
2.24 is the 14% share of 16. The remaining 86% is 13.76, and the two parts add back up to 16.
Discounts: 14% off an item priced $16 saves $2.24, so you pay $13.76.
Adding and taking away 14%
Increasing 16 by 14% gives 18.24 and decreasing it by 14% gives 13.76. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 15.6864, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
