How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 19 = 3.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.04 ÷ 19 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/19, so part = 16 × 19 ÷ 100 = 3.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

3.04 is the 16% share of 19. The remaining 84% is 15.96, and the two parts add back up to 19.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $19 saves $3.04, so you pay $15.96.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 19 by 16% gives 22.04 and decreasing it by 16% gives 15.96. These do not cancel out: raising 19 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 18.5136, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
