How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 96 = 5.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.76 ÷ 96 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/96, so part = 6 × 96 ÷ 100 = 5.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*96. 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

5.76 is the 6% share of 96. The remaining 94% is 90.24, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $96 saves $5.76, so you pay $90.24.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 96 by 6% gives 101.76 and decreasing it by 6% gives 90.24. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 95.6544, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
