How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 13 = 1.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.95 ÷ 13 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/13, so part = 15 × 13 ÷ 100 = 1.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*13. 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

1.95 is the 15% share of 13. The remaining 85% is 11.05, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $13 saves $1.95, so you pay $11.05.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 13 by 15% gives 14.95 and decreasing it by 15% gives 11.05. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 12.7075, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
