How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 5 = 2.7
- Check: Work backwards: 2.7 ÷ 5 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/5, so part = 54 × 5 ÷ 100 = 2.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*5. 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
2.7 is the 54% share of 5. The remaining 46% is 2.3, and the two parts add back up to 5.
Discounts: 54% off an item priced $5 saves $2.7, so you pay $2.3.
Adding and taking away 54%
Increasing 5 by 54% gives 7.7 and decreasing it by 54% gives 2.3. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 3.542, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
