How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 15 = 12.6
- Check: Work backwards: 12.6 ÷ 15 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/15, so part = 84 × 15 ÷ 100 = 12.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*15. 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
12.6 is the 84% share of 15. The remaining 16% is 2.4, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 84% off an item priced $15 saves $12.6, so you pay $2.4.
Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 15 by 84% gives 27.6 and decreasing it by 84% gives 2.4. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 4.416, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
