How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 38 = 5.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.32 ÷ 38 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/38, so part = 14 × 38 ÷ 100 = 5.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

5.32 is the 14% share of 38. The remaining 86% is 32.68, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $38 saves $5.32, so you pay $32.68.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 38 by 14% gives 43.32 and decreasing it by 14% gives 32.68. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 37.2552, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
