How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 88 = 14.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.08 ÷ 88 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/88, so part = 16 × 88 ÷ 100 = 14.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

14.08 is the 16% share of 88. The remaining 84% is 73.92, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $88 saves $14.08, so you pay $73.92.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 88 by 16% gives 102.08 and decreasing it by 16% gives 73.92. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 85.7472, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
