How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
  2. Multiply: 0.2 × 95 = 19
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19 ÷ 95 × 100 = 20%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/100 = part/95, so part = 20 × 95 ÷ 100 = 19. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20%*95. 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

19 is the 20% share of 95. The remaining 80% is 76, and the two parts add back up to 95.

Discounts: 20% off an item priced $95 saves $19, so you pay $76.

Adding and taking away 20%

Increasing 95 by 20% gives 114 and decreasing it by 20% gives 76. These do not cancel out: raising 95 by 20% and then lowering the result by 20% ends at 91.2, because the second 20% is taken of a bigger number.
