How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
- Multiply: 0.06 × 95 = 5.7
- Check: Work backwards: 5.7 ÷ 95 × 100 = 6%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/95, so part = 6 × 95 ÷ 100 = 5.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =6%*95. 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
5.7 is the 6% share of 95. The remaining 94% is 89.3, and the two parts add back up to 95.
Discounts: 6% off an item priced $95 saves $5.7, so you pay $89.3.
Adding and taking away 6%
Increasing 95 by 6% gives 100.7 and decreasing it by 6% gives 89.3. These do not cancel out: raising 95 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 94.658, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
