How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 7 = 6.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.72 ÷ 7 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/7, so part = 96 × 7 ÷ 100 = 6.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*7. 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

6.72 is the 96% share of 7. The remaining 4% is 0.28, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $7 saves $6.72, so you pay $0.28.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 7 by 96% gives 13.72 and decreasing it by 96% gives 0.28. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 0.5488, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
