How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
- Multiply: 0.94 × 5 = 4.7
- Check: Work backwards: 4.7 ÷ 5 × 100 = 94%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/5, so part = 94 × 5 ÷ 100 = 4.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =94%*5. 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
4.7 is the 94% share of 5. The remaining 6% is 0.3, and the two parts add back up to 5.
Discounts: 94% off an item priced $5 saves $4.7, so you pay $0.3.
Adding and taking away 94%
Increasing 5 by 94% gives 9.7 and decreasing it by 94% gives 0.3. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 0.582, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
