How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 84 = 13.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.44 ÷ 84 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/84, so part = 16 × 84 ÷ 100 = 13.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*84. 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

13.44 is the 16% share of 84. The remaining 84% is 70.56, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $84 saves $13.44, so you pay $70.56.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 84 by 16% gives 97.44 and decreasing it by 16% gives 70.56. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 81.8496, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
