How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
- Multiply: 0.06 × 1 = 0.06
- Check: Work backwards: 0.06 ÷ 1 × 100 = 6%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/1, so part = 6 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =6%*1. 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
0.06 is the 6% share of 1. The remaining 94% is 0.94, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 6% off an item priced $1 saves $0.06, so you pay $0.94.
Adding and taking away 6%
Increasing 1 by 6% gives 1.06 and decreasing it by 6% gives 0.94. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 0.9964, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
