How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
- Multiply: 0.22 × 38 = 8.36
- Check: Work backwards: 8.36 ÷ 38 × 100 = 22%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/38, so part = 22 × 38 ÷ 100 = 8.36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

Adding and taking away 22%
Increasing 38 by 22% gives 46.36 and decreasing it by 22% gives 29.64. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 36.1608, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
