How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
- Multiply: 0.14 × 3 = 0.42
- Check: Work backwards: 0.42 ÷ 3 × 100 = 14%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/3, so part = 14 × 3 ÷ 100 = 0.42. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =14%*3. 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
0.42 is the 14% share of 3. The remaining 86% is 2.58, and the two parts add back up to 3.
Discounts: 14% off an item priced $3 saves $0.42, so you pay $2.58.
Adding and taking away 14%
Increasing 3 by 14% gives 3.42 and decreasing it by 14% gives 2.58. These do not cancel out: raising 3 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 2.9412, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
