How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
  2. Multiply: 0.42 × 94 = 39.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.48 ÷ 94 × 100 = 42%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/94, so part = 42 × 94 ÷ 100 = 39.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42%*94. 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

39.48 is the 42% share of 94. The remaining 58% is 54.52, and the two parts add back up to 94.

Discounts: 42% off an item priced $94 saves $39.48, so you pay $54.52.

Adding and taking away 42%

Increasing 94 by 42% gives 133.48 and decreasing it by 42% gives 54.52. These do not cancel out: raising 94 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 77.4184, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
