How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 96 = 6.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.72 ÷ 96 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/96, so part = 7 × 96 ÷ 100 = 6.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*96. 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

6.72 is the 7% share of 96. The remaining 93% is 89.28, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $96 saves $6.72, so you pay $89.28.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 96 by 7% gives 102.72 and decreasing it by 7% gives 89.28. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 95.5296, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
