How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 2 ÷ 100 = 0.02
  2. Multiply: 0.02 × 93 = 1.86
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.86 ÷ 93 × 100 = 2%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/100 = part/93, so part = 2 × 93 ÷ 100 = 1.86. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =2%*93. 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

1.86 is the 2% share of 93. The remaining 98% is 91.14, and the two parts add back up to 93.

Discounts: 2% off an item priced $93 saves $1.86, so you pay $91.14.

Adding and taking away 2%

Increasing 93 by 2% gives 94.86 and decreasing it by 2% gives 91.14. These do not cancel out: raising 93 by 2% and then lowering the result by 2% ends at 92.9628, because the second 2% is taken of a bigger number.
