How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 12 = 11.52
- Check: Work backwards: 11.52 ÷ 12 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/12, so part = 96 × 12 ÷ 100 = 11.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*12. 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
11.52 is the 96% share of 12. The remaining 4% is 0.48, and the two parts add back up to 12.
Discounts: 96% off an item priced $12 saves $11.52, so you pay $0.48.
Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 12 by 96% gives 23.52 and decreasing it by 96% gives 0.48. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 0.9408, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
