How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 60 = 9.6
- Check: Work backwards: 9.6 ÷ 60 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/60, so part = 16 × 60 ÷ 100 = 9.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*60. 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
9.6 is the 16% share of 60. The remaining 84% is 50.4, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 16% off an item priced $60 saves $9.6, so you pay $50.4.
Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 60 by 16% gives 69.6 and decreasing it by 16% gives 50.4. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 58.464, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
