How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 16 = 8.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.32 ÷ 16 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/16, so part = 52 × 16 ÷ 100 = 8.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

8.32 is the 52% share of 16. The remaining 48% is 7.68, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $16 saves $8.32, so you pay $7.68.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 16 by 52% gives 24.32 and decreasing it by 52% gives 7.68. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 11.6736, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
