How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 76 = 12.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.16 ÷ 76 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/76, so part = 16 × 76 ÷ 100 = 12.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*76. 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

12.16 is the 16% share of 76. The remaining 84% is 63.84, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $76 saves $12.16, so you pay $63.84.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 76 by 16% gives 88.16 and decreasing it by 16% gives 63.84. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 74.0544, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
