How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 91 = 5.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.46 ÷ 91 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/91, so part = 6 × 91 ÷ 100 = 5.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*91. 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

5.46 is the 6% share of 91. The remaining 94% is 85.54, and the two parts add back up to 91.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $91 saves $5.46, so you pay $85.54.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 91 by 6% gives 96.46 and decreasing it by 6% gives 85.54. These do not cancel out: raising 91 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 90.6724, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
