How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 5 = 4.15
- Check: Work backwards: 4.15 ÷ 5 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/5, so part = 83 × 5 ÷ 100 = 4.15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*5. 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
4.15 is the 83% share of 5. The remaining 17% is 0.85, and the two parts add back up to 5.
Discounts: 83% off an item priced $5 saves $4.15, so you pay $0.85.
Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 5 by 83% gives 9.15 and decreasing it by 83% gives 0.85. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 1.5555, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
