How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
- Multiply: 0.6 × 14 = 8.4
- Check: Work backwards: 8.4 ÷ 14 × 100 = 60%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/100 = part/14, so part = 60 × 14 ÷ 100 = 8.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =60%*14. 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
8.4 is the 60% share of 14. The remaining 40% is 5.6, and the two parts add back up to 14.
Discounts: 60% off an item priced $14 saves $8.4, so you pay $5.6.
Adding and taking away 60%
Increasing 14 by 60% gives 22.4 and decreasing it by 60% gives 5.6. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 60% and then lowering the result by 60% ends at 8.96, because the second 60% is taken of a bigger number.
