How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 96 = 15.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.36 ÷ 96 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/96, so part = 16 × 96 ÷ 100 = 15.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*96. 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

15.36 is the 16% share of 96. The remaining 84% is 80.64, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $96 saves $15.36, so you pay $80.64.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 96 by 16% gives 111.36 and decreasing it by 16% gives 80.64. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 93.5424, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
