How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
- Multiply: 0.94 × 42 = 39.48
- Check: Work backwards: 39.48 ÷ 42 × 100 = 94%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/42, so part = 94 × 42 ÷ 100 = 39.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =94%*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.
