How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 95 = 14.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.25 ÷ 95 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/95, so part = 15 × 95 ÷ 100 = 14.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*95. 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

14.25 is the 15% share of 95. The remaining 85% is 80.75, and the two parts add back up to 95.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $95 saves $14.25, so you pay $80.75.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 95 by 15% gives 109.25 and decreasing it by 15% gives 80.75. These do not cancel out: raising 95 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 92.8625, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
