How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 21 ÷ 100 = 0.21
- Multiply: 0.21 × 80 = 16.8
- Check: Work backwards: 16.8 ÷ 80 × 100 = 21%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 21/100 = part/80, so part = 21 × 80 ÷ 100 = 16.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =21%*80. 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
16.8 is the 21% share of 80. The remaining 79% is 63.2, and the two parts add back up to 80.
Discounts: 21% off an item priced $80 saves $16.8, so you pay $63.2.
Adding and taking away 21%
Increasing 80 by 21% gives 96.8 and decreasing it by 21% gives 63.2. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 21% and then lowering the result by 21% ends at 76.472, because the second 21% is taken of a bigger number.
