How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 16 = 9.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.28 ÷ 16 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/16, so part = 58 × 16 ÷ 100 = 9.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

9.28 is the 58% share of 16. The remaining 42% is 6.72, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $16 saves $9.28, so you pay $6.72.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 16 by 58% gives 25.28 and decreasing it by 58% gives 6.72. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 10.6176, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
