How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
- Multiply: 0.14 × 50 = 7
- Check: Work backwards: 7 ÷ 50 × 100 = 14%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/50, so part = 14 × 50 ÷ 100 = 7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =14%*50. 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
7 is the 14% share of 50. The remaining 86% is 43, and the two parts add back up to 50.
Discounts: 14% off an item priced $50 saves $7, so you pay $43.
Adding and taking away 14%
Increasing 50 by 14% gives 57 and decreasing it by 14% gives 43. These do not cancel out: raising 50 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 49.02, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
