How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
  2. Multiply: 0.2 × 92 = 18.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.4 ÷ 92 × 100 = 20%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/100 = part/92, so part = 20 × 92 ÷ 100 = 18.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20%*92. 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

18.4 is the 20% share of 92. The remaining 80% is 73.6, and the two parts add back up to 92.

Discounts: 20% off an item priced $92 saves $18.4, so you pay $73.6.

Adding and taking away 20%

Increasing 92 by 20% gives 110.4 and decreasing it by 20% gives 73.6. These do not cancel out: raising 92 by 20% and then lowering the result by 20% ends at 88.32, because the second 20% is taken of a bigger number.
