How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 16 = 9.76
- Check: Work backwards: 9.76 ÷ 16 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/16, so part = 61 × 16 ÷ 100 = 9.76. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*16. 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
9.76 is the 61% share of 16. The remaining 39% is 6.24, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Adding and taking away 61%
Increasing 16 by 61% gives 25.76 and decreasing it by 61% gives 6.24. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 10.0464, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
