How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 93 ÷ 100 = 0.93
  2. Multiply: 0.93 × 20 = 18.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.6 ÷ 20 × 100 = 93%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 93/100 = part/20, so part = 93 × 20 ÷ 100 = 18.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =93%*20. 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

18.6 is the 93% share of 20. The remaining 7% is 1.4, and the two parts add back up to 20.

Discounts: 93% off an item priced $20 saves $18.6, so you pay $1.4.

Adding and taking away 93%

Increasing 20 by 93% gives 38.6 and decreasing it by 93% gives 1.4. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 93% and then lowering the result by 93% ends at 2.702, because the second 93% is taken of a bigger number.
