How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 14 = 5.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.32 ÷ 14 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/14, so part = 38 × 14 ÷ 100 = 5.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*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

5.32 is the 38% share of 14. The remaining 62% is 8.68, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $14 saves $5.32, so you pay $8.68.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 14 by 38% gives 19.32 and decreasing it by 38% gives 8.68. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 11.9784, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
