How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
- Multiply: 0.14 × 59 = 8.26
- Check: Work backwards: 8.26 ÷ 59 × 100 = 14%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/59, so part = 14 × 59 ÷ 100 = 8.26. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =14%*59. 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

Adding and taking away 14%
Increasing 59 by 14% gives 67.26 and decreasing it by 14% gives 50.74. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 57.8436, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
