How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 28 = 3.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.64 ÷ 28 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/28, so part = 13 × 28 ÷ 100 = 3.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*28. 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

3.64 is the 13% share of 28. The remaining 87% is 24.36, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $28 saves $3.64, so you pay $24.36.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 28 by 13% gives 31.64 and decreasing it by 13% gives 24.36. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 27.5268, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
