How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
- Multiply: 0.72 × 14 = 10.08
- Check: Work backwards: 10.08 ÷ 14 × 100 = 72%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/14, so part = 72 × 14 ÷ 100 = 10.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =72%*14. 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
10.08 is the 72% share of 14. The remaining 28% is 3.92, and the two parts add back up to 14.
Discounts: 72% off an item priced $14 saves $10.08, so you pay $3.92.
Adding and taking away 72%
Increasing 14 by 72% gives 24.08 and decreasing it by 72% gives 3.92. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 6.7424, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
