How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 83 = 13.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.28 ÷ 83 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/83, so part = 16 × 83 ÷ 100 = 13.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*83. 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

13.28 is the 16% share of 83. The remaining 84% is 69.72, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $83 saves $13.28, so you pay $69.72.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 83 by 16% gives 96.28 and decreasing it by 16% gives 69.72. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 80.8752, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
