How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 60 = 50.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 50.4 ÷ 60 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/60, so part = 84 × 60 ÷ 100 = 50.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*60. 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

50.4 is the 84% share of 60. The remaining 16% is 9.6, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $60 saves $50.4, so you pay $9.6.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 60 by 84% gives 110.4 and decreasing it by 84% gives 9.6. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 17.664, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
