How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 20 = 18.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.8 ÷ 20 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/20, so part = 94 × 20 ÷ 100 = 18.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*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

18.8 is the 94% share of 20. The remaining 6% is 1.2, and the two parts add back up to 20.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $20 saves $18.8, so you pay $1.2.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 20 by 94% gives 38.8 and decreasing it by 94% gives 1.2. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 2.328, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
