How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 16 = 10.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.24 ÷ 16 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/16, so part = 64 × 16 ÷ 100 = 10.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*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

10.24 is the 64% share of 16. The remaining 36% is 5.76, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $16 saves $10.24, so you pay $5.76.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 16 by 64% gives 26.24 and decreasing it by 64% gives 5.76. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 9.4464, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
