How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 68 = 10.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.88 ÷ 68 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/68, so part = 16 × 68 ÷ 100 = 10.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*68. 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

10.88 is the 16% share of 68. The remaining 84% is 57.12, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $68 saves $10.88, so you pay $57.12.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 68 by 16% gives 78.88 and decreasing it by 16% gives 57.12. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 66.2592, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
