How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 16 = 10.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.08 ÷ 16 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/16, so part = 63 × 16 ÷ 100 = 10.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

10.08 is the 63% share of 16. The remaining 37% is 5.92, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $16 saves $10.08, so you pay $5.92.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 16 by 63% gives 26.08 and decreasing it by 63% gives 5.92. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 9.6496, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
