How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
  2. Multiply: 0.05 × 94 = 4.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.7 ÷ 94 × 100 = 5%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/100 = part/94, so part = 5 × 94 ÷ 100 = 4.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5%*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

4.7 is the 5% share of 94. The remaining 95% is 89.3, and the two parts add back up to 94.

Discounts: 5% off an item priced $94 saves $4.7, so you pay $89.3.

Adding and taking away 5%

Increasing 94 by 5% gives 98.7 and decreasing it by 5% gives 89.3. These do not cancel out: raising 94 by 5% and then lowering the result by 5% ends at 93.765, because the second 5% is taken of a bigger number.
