How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
  2. Multiply: 0.83 × 16 = 13.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.28 ÷ 16 × 100 = 83%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/16, so part = 83 × 16 ÷ 100 = 13.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83%*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

13.28 is the 83% share of 16. The remaining 17% is 2.72, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 83% off an item priced $16 saves $13.28, so you pay $2.72.

Adding and taking away 83%

Increasing 16 by 83% gives 29.28 and decreasing it by 83% gives 2.72. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 4.9776, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
