How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
  2. Multiply: 0.65 × 16 = 10.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.4 ÷ 16 × 100 = 65%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/16, so part = 65 × 16 ÷ 100 = 10.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65%*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

10.4 is the 65% share of 16. The remaining 35% is 5.6, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 65% off an item priced $16 saves $10.4, so you pay $5.6.

Adding and taking away 65%

Increasing 16 by 65% gives 26.4 and decreasing it by 65% gives 5.6. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 9.24, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
