How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 39 = 6.24
- Check: Work backwards: 6.24 ÷ 39 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/39, so part = 16 × 39 ÷ 100 = 6.24. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*39. 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
6.24 is the 16% share of 39. The remaining 84% is 32.76, and the two parts add back up to 39.

Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 39 by 16% gives 45.24 and decreasing it by 16% gives 32.76. These do not cancel out: raising 39 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 38.0016, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
