How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 84 = 11.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.76 ÷ 84 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/84, so part = 14 × 84 ÷ 100 = 11.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*84. 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

11.76 is the 14% share of 84. The remaining 86% is 72.24, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $84 saves $11.76, so you pay $72.24.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 84 by 14% gives 95.76 and decreasing it by 14% gives 72.24. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 82.3536, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
