How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 63 = 10.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.08 ÷ 63 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/63, so part = 16 × 63 ÷ 100 = 10.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*63. 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

10.08 is the 16% share of 63. The remaining 84% is 52.92, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $63 saves $10.08, so you pay $52.92.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 63 by 16% gives 73.08 and decreasing it by 16% gives 52.92. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 61.3872, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
