How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 16 = 10.88
- Check: Work backwards: 10.88 ÷ 16 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/16, so part = 68 × 16 ÷ 100 = 10.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*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
10.88 is the 68% share of 16. The remaining 32% is 5.12, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Adding and taking away 68%
Increasing 16 by 68% gives 26.88 and decreasing it by 68% gives 5.12. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 8.6016, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
