How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 16 = 11.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.36 ÷ 16 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/16, so part = 71 × 16 ÷ 100 = 11.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

11.36 is the 71% share of 16. The remaining 29% is 4.64, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $16 saves $11.36, so you pay $4.64.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 16 by 71% gives 27.36 and decreasing it by 71% gives 4.64. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 7.9344, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
