How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 38 = 4.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.94 ÷ 38 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/38, so part = 13 × 38 ÷ 100 = 4.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*38. 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

4.94 is the 13% share of 38. The remaining 87% is 33.06, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $38 saves $4.94, so you pay $33.06.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 38 by 13% gives 42.94 and decreasing it by 13% gives 33.06. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 37.3578, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
