How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 6 = 5.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.64 ÷ 6 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/6, so part = 94 × 6 ÷ 100 = 5.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*6. 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

5.64 is the 94% share of 6. The remaining 6% is 0.36, and the two parts add back up to 6.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $6 saves $5.64, so you pay $0.36.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 6 by 94% gives 11.64 and decreasing it by 94% gives 0.36. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 0.6984, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
