How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
- Multiply: 0.95 × 20 = 19
- Check: Work backwards: 19 ÷ 20 × 100 = 95%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/20, so part = 95 × 20 ÷ 100 = 19. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =95%*20. 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
19 is the 95% share of 20. The remaining 5% is 1, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 95% off an item priced $20 saves $19, so you pay $1.
Adding and taking away 95%
Increasing 20 by 95% gives 39 and decreasing it by 95% gives 1. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 1.95, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
