How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
  2. Multiply: 0.05 × 95 = 4.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.75 ÷ 95 × 100 = 5%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/100 = part/95, so part = 5 × 95 ÷ 100 = 4.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5%*95. 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

4.75 is the 5% share of 95. The remaining 95% is 90.25, and the two parts add back up to 95.

Discounts: 5% off an item priced $95 saves $4.75, so you pay $90.25.

Adding and taking away 5%

Increasing 95 by 5% gives 99.75 and decreasing it by 5% gives 90.25. These do not cancel out: raising 95 by 5% and then lowering the result by 5% ends at 94.7625, because the second 5% is taken of a bigger number.
