How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 25 = 3.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.5 ÷ 25 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/25, so part = 14 × 25 ÷ 100 = 3.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*25. 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

3.5 is the 14% share of 25. The remaining 86% is 21.5, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $25 saves $3.5, so you pay $21.5.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 25 by 14% gives 28.5 and decreasing it by 14% gives 21.5. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 24.51, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
