How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 12 = 10.08
- Check: Work backwards: 10.08 ÷ 12 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/12, so part = 84 × 12 ÷ 100 = 10.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*12. 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 84% share of 12. The remaining 16% is 1.92, and the two parts add back up to 12.
Discounts: 84% off an item priced $12 saves $10.08, so you pay $1.92.
Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 12 by 84% gives 22.08 and decreasing it by 84% gives 1.92. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 3.5328, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
