How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 88 = 22.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.88 ÷ 88 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/88, so part = 26 × 88 ÷ 100 = 22.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

22.88 is the 26% share of 88. The remaining 74% is 65.12, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $88 saves $22.88, so you pay $65.12.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 88 by 26% gives 110.88 and decreasing it by 26% gives 65.12. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 82.0512, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
