How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 600 ÷ 100 = 6
  2. Multiply: 6 × 15 = 90
  3. Check: Work backwards: 90 ÷ 15 × 100 = 600%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 600/100 = part/15, so part = 600 × 15 ÷ 100 = 90. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =600%*15. 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

Because 600% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 15: it is 6 times 15.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 600% of its $15 cost means selling it for $90.

Adding and taking away 600%

Increasing 15 by 600% gives 105. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 600% and then lowering the result by 600% ends at -525, because the second 600% is taken of a bigger number.
