How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 28 = 7
- Check: Work backwards: 7 ÷ 28 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/28, so part = 25 × 28 ÷ 100 = 7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*28. 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
7 is the 25% share of 28. The remaining 75% is 21, and the two parts add back up to 28.
Discounts: 25% off an item priced $28 saves $7, so you pay $21.
Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 28 by 25% gives 35 and decreasing it by 25% gives 21. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 26.25, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
