How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 13 = 2.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.08 ÷ 13 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/13, so part = 16 × 13 ÷ 100 = 2.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

2.08 is the 16% share of 13. The remaining 84% is 10.92, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $13 saves $2.08, so you pay $10.92.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 13 by 16% gives 15.08 and decreasing it by 16% gives 10.92. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 12.6672, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
