How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 5 = 4.8
- Check: Work backwards: 4.8 ÷ 5 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/5, so part = 96 × 5 ÷ 100 = 4.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*5. 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
4.8 is the 96% share of 5. The remaining 4% is 0.2, and the two parts add back up to 5.
Discounts: 96% off an item priced $5 saves $4.8, so you pay $0.2.
Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 5 by 96% gives 9.8 and decreasing it by 96% gives 0.2. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 0.392, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
