How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 93 ÷ 100 = 0.93
  2. Multiply: 0.93 × 42 = 39.06
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.06 ÷ 42 × 100 = 93%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 93/100 = part/42, so part = 93 × 42 ÷ 100 = 39.06. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =93%*42. 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

39.06 is the 93% share of 42. The remaining 7% is 2.94, and the two parts add back up to 42.

Discounts: 93% off an item priced $42 saves $39.06, so you pay $2.94.

Adding and taking away 93%

Increasing 42 by 93% gives 81.06 and decreasing it by 93% gives 2.94. These do not cancel out: raising 42 by 93% and then lowering the result by 93% ends at 5.6742, because the second 93% is taken of a bigger number.
