How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 39 ÷ 100 = 0.39
- Multiply: 0.39 × 16 = 6.24
- Check: Work backwards: 6.24 ÷ 16 × 100 = 39%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/100 = part/16, so part = 39 × 16 ÷ 100 = 6.24. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =39%*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
6.24 is the 39% share of 16. The remaining 61% is 9.76, and the two parts add back up to 16.
Discounts: 39% off an item priced $16 saves $6.24, so you pay $9.76.
Adding and taking away 39%
Increasing 16 by 39% gives 22.24 and decreasing it by 39% gives 9.76. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 39% and then lowering the result by 39% ends at 13.5664, because the second 39% is taken of a bigger number.
