How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 16 = 3.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.52 ÷ 16 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/16, so part = 22 × 16 ÷ 100 = 3.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*16. 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

3.52 is the 22% share of 16. The remaining 78% is 12.48, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $16 saves $3.52, so you pay $12.48.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 16 by 22% gives 19.52 and decreasing it by 22% gives 12.48. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 15.2256, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
