How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 55 = 46.2
- Check: Work backwards: 46.2 ÷ 55 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/55, so part = 84 × 55 ÷ 100 = 46.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*55. 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
46.2 is the 84% share of 55. The remaining 16% is 8.8, and the two parts add back up to 55.
Discounts: 84% off an item priced $55 saves $46.2, so you pay $8.8.
Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 55 by 84% gives 101.2 and decreasing it by 84% gives 8.8. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 16.192, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
