How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 92 = 5.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.52 ÷ 92 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/92, so part = 6 × 92 ÷ 100 = 5.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*92. 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

5.52 is the 6% share of 92. The remaining 94% is 86.48, and the two parts add back up to 92.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $92 saves $5.52, so you pay $86.48.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 92 by 6% gives 97.52 and decreasing it by 6% gives 86.48. These do not cancel out: raising 92 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 91.6688, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
