How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 88 = 12.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.32 ÷ 88 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/88, so part = 14 × 88 ÷ 100 = 12.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*88. 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

12.32 is the 14% share of 88. The remaining 86% is 75.68, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $88 saves $12.32, so you pay $75.68.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 88 by 14% gives 100.32 and decreasing it by 14% gives 75.68. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 86.2752, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
