How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
- Multiply: 0.14 × 20 = 2.8
- Check: Work backwards: 2.8 ÷ 20 × 100 = 14%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/20, so part = 14 × 20 ÷ 100 = 2.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =14%*20. 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
2.8 is the 14% share of 20. The remaining 86% is 17.2, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 14% off an item priced $20 saves $2.8, so you pay $17.2.
Adding and taking away 14%
Increasing 20 by 14% gives 22.8 and decreasing it by 14% gives 17.2. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 19.608, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
