How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
- Multiply: 0.15 × 19 = 2.85
- Check: Work backwards: 2.85 ÷ 19 × 100 = 15%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/19, so part = 15 × 19 ÷ 100 = 2.85. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =15%*19. 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
2.85 is the 15% share of 19. The remaining 85% is 16.15, and the two parts add back up to 19.
Discounts: 15% off an item priced $19 saves $2.85, so you pay $16.15.
Adding and taking away 15%
Increasing 19 by 15% gives 21.85 and decreasing it by 15% gives 16.15. These do not cancel out: raising 19 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 18.5725, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
