How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
  2. Multiply: 0.89 × 16 = 14.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.24 ÷ 16 × 100 = 89%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/16, so part = 89 × 16 ÷ 100 = 14.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =89%*16. 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

14.24 is the 89% share of 16. The remaining 11% is 1.76, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 89% off an item priced $16 saves $14.24, so you pay $1.76.

Adding and taking away 89%

Increasing 16 by 89% gives 30.24 and decreasing it by 89% gives 1.76. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 89% and then lowering the result by 89% ends at 3.3264, because the second 89% is taken of a bigger number.
