How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 16 = 13.44
- Check: Work backwards: 13.44 ÷ 16 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/16, so part = 84 × 16 ÷ 100 = 13.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*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
13.44 is the 84% share of 16. The remaining 16% is 2.56, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 16 by 84% gives 29.44 and decreasing it by 84% gives 2.56. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 4.7104, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
