How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 100 = 84
- Check: Work backwards: 84 ÷ 100 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/100, so part = 84 × 100 ÷ 100 = 84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*100. 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
84 is the 84% share of 100. The remaining 16% is 16, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 100 by 84% gives 184 and decreasing it by 84% gives 16. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 29.44, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
