How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 14 = 3.78
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.78 ÷ 14 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/14, so part = 27 × 14 ÷ 100 = 3.78. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*14. 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

3.78 is the 27% share of 14. The remaining 73% is 10.22, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $14 saves $3.78, so you pay $10.22.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 14 by 27% gives 17.78 and decreasing it by 27% gives 10.22. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 12.9794, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
