How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 12 = 11.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.28 ÷ 12 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/12, so part = 94 × 12 ÷ 100 = 11.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*12. 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

11.28 is the 94% share of 12. The remaining 6% is 0.72, and the two parts add back up to 12.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $12 saves $11.28, so you pay $0.72.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 12 by 94% gives 23.28 and decreasing it by 94% gives 0.72. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 1.3968, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
