How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 36 = 5.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.04 ÷ 36 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/36, so part = 14 × 36 ÷ 100 = 5.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*36. 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

5.04 is the 14% share of 36. The remaining 86% is 30.96, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $36 saves $5.04, so you pay $30.96.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 36 by 14% gives 41.04 and decreasing it by 14% gives 30.96. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 35.2944, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
