How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 71 = 9.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.94 ÷ 71 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/71, so part = 14 × 71 ÷ 100 = 9.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*71. 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

9.94 is the 14% share of 71. The remaining 86% is 61.06, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $71 saves $9.94, so you pay $61.06.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 71 by 14% gives 80.94 and decreasing it by 14% gives 61.06. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 69.6084, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
