How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 40 = 33.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.6 ÷ 40 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/40, so part = 84 × 40 ÷ 100 = 33.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*40. 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

33.6 is the 84% share of 40. The remaining 16% is 6.4, and the two parts add back up to 40.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $40 saves $33.6, so you pay $6.4.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 40 by 84% gives 73.6 and decreasing it by 84% gives 6.4. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 11.776, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
