How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 28 = 7.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.56 ÷ 28 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/28, so part = 27 × 28 ÷ 100 = 7.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

7.56 is the 27% share of 28. The remaining 73% is 20.44, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $28 saves $7.56, so you pay $20.44.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 28 by 27% gives 35.56 and decreasing it by 27% gives 20.44. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 25.9588, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
