How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 6 = 5.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.76 ÷ 6 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/6, so part = 96 × 6 ÷ 100 = 5.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*6. 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

5.76 is the 96% share of 6. The remaining 4% is 0.24, and the two parts add back up to 6.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $6 saves $5.76, so you pay $0.24.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 6 by 96% gives 11.76 and decreasing it by 96% gives 0.24. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 0.4704, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
