How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 10 = 9.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.5 ÷ 10 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/10, so part = 95 × 10 ÷ 100 = 9.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*10. 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

9.5 is the 95% share of 10. The remaining 5% is 0.5, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $10 saves $9.5, so you pay $0.5.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 10 by 95% gives 19.5 and decreasing it by 95% gives 0.5. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 0.975, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
