How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 88 = 15.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.84 ÷ 88 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/88, so part = 18 × 88 ÷ 100 = 15.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*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

15.84 is the 18% share of 88. The remaining 82% is 72.16, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $88 saves $15.84, so you pay $72.16.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 88 by 18% gives 103.84 and decreasing it by 18% gives 72.16. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 85.1488, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
