How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 88 = 20.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.24 ÷ 88 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/88, so part = 23 × 88 ÷ 100 = 20.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*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

20.24 is the 23% share of 88. The remaining 77% is 67.76, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $88 saves $20.24, so you pay $67.76.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 88 by 23% gives 108.24 and decreasing it by 23% gives 67.76. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 83.3448, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
