How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 21 = 19.74
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.74 ÷ 21 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/21, so part = 94 × 21 ÷ 100 = 19.74. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*21. 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

19.74 is the 94% share of 21. The remaining 6% is 1.26, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $21 saves $19.74, so you pay $1.26.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 21 by 94% gives 40.74 and decreasing it by 94% gives 1.26. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 2.4444, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
