How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 15 = 14.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.1 ÷ 15 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/15, so part = 94 × 15 ÷ 100 = 14.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*15. 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

14.1 is the 94% share of 15. The remaining 6% is 0.9, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $15 saves $14.1, so you pay $0.9.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 15 by 94% gives 29.1 and decreasing it by 94% gives 0.9. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 1.746, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
