How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
  2. Multiply: 0.55 × 14 = 7.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.7 ÷ 14 × 100 = 55%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/14, so part = 55 × 14 ÷ 100 = 7.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55%*14. 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

7.7 is the 55% share of 14. The remaining 45% is 6.3, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 55% off an item priced $14 saves $7.7, so you pay $6.3.

Adding and taking away 55%

Increasing 14 by 55% gives 21.7 and decreasing it by 55% gives 6.3. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 9.765, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
