How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 7 = 0.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.98 ÷ 7 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/7, so part = 14 × 7 ÷ 100 = 0.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*7. 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

0.98 is the 14% share of 7. The remaining 86% is 6.02, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $7 saves $0.98, so you pay $6.02.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 7 by 14% gives 7.98 and decreasing it by 14% gives 6.02. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 6.8628, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
