How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 94 = 14.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.1 ÷ 94 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/94, so part = 15 × 94 ÷ 100 = 14.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*94. 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

14.1 is the 15% share of 94. The remaining 85% is 79.9, and the two parts add back up to 94.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $94 saves $14.1, so you pay $79.9.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 94 by 15% gives 108.1 and decreasing it by 15% gives 79.9. These do not cancel out: raising 94 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 91.885, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
