How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 16 = 15.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.2 ÷ 16 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/16, so part = 95 × 16 ÷ 100 = 15.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*16. 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

15.2 is the 95% share of 16. The remaining 5% is 0.8, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $16 saves $15.2, so you pay $0.8.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 16 by 95% gives 31.2 and decreasing it by 95% gives 0.8. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 1.56, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
