How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 57 = 9.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.12 ÷ 57 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/57, so part = 16 × 57 ÷ 100 = 9.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*57. 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

9.12 is the 16% share of 57. The remaining 84% is 47.88, and the two parts add back up to 57.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $57 saves $9.12, so you pay $47.88.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 57 by 16% gives 66.12 and decreasing it by 16% gives 47.88. These do not cancel out: raising 57 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 55.5408, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
