How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 44 ÷ 100 = 0.44
  2. Multiply: 0.44 × 16 = 7.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.04 ÷ 16 × 100 = 44%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 44/100 = part/16, so part = 44 × 16 ÷ 100 = 7.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =44%*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

7.04 is the 44% share of 16. The remaining 56% is 8.96, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 44% off an item priced $16 saves $7.04, so you pay $8.96.

Adding and taking away 44%

Increasing 16 by 44% gives 23.04 and decreasing it by 44% gives 8.96. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 44% and then lowering the result by 44% ends at 12.9024, because the second 44% is taken of a bigger number.
