How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 84 = 80.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.64 ÷ 84 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/84, so part = 96 × 84 ÷ 100 = 80.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*84. 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

80.64 is the 96% share of 84. The remaining 4% is 3.36, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $84 saves $80.64, so you pay $3.36.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 84 by 96% gives 164.64 and decreasing it by 96% gives 3.36. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 6.5856, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
