How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 19 ÷ 100 = 0.19
- Multiply: 0.19 × 85 = 16.15
- Check: Work backwards: 16.15 ÷ 85 × 100 = 19%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 19/100 = part/85, so part = 19 × 85 ÷ 100 = 16.15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =19%*85. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 19%
Increasing 85 by 19% gives 101.15 and decreasing it by 19% gives 68.85. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 19% and then lowering the result by 19% ends at 81.9315, because the second 19% is taken of a bigger number.
