How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 7 = 5.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.88 ÷ 7 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/7, so part = 84 × 7 ÷ 100 = 5.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*7. 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

5.88 is the 84% share of 7. The remaining 16% is 1.12, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $7 saves $5.88, so you pay $1.12.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 7 by 84% gives 12.88 and decreasing it by 84% gives 1.12. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 2.0608, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
