How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 20 = 16.8
- Check: Work backwards: 16.8 ÷ 20 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/20, so part = 84 × 20 ÷ 100 = 16.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*20. 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
16.8 is the 84% share of 20. The remaining 16% is 3.2, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 84% off an item priced $20 saves $16.8, so you pay $3.2.
Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 20 by 84% gives 36.8 and decreasing it by 84% gives 3.2. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 5.888, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
