How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 41 = 6.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.56 ÷ 41 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/41, so part = 16 × 41 ÷ 100 = 6.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*41. 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

6.56 is the 16% share of 41. The remaining 84% is 34.44, and the two parts add back up to 41.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $41 saves $6.56, so you pay $34.44.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 41 by 16% gives 47.56 and decreasing it by 16% gives 34.44. These do not cancel out: raising 41 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 39.9504, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
