How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 88 = 23.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.76 ÷ 88 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/88, so part = 27 × 88 ÷ 100 = 23.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

23.76 is the 27% share of 88. The remaining 73% is 64.24, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $88 saves $23.76, so you pay $64.24.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 88 by 27% gives 111.76 and decreasing it by 27% gives 64.24. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 81.5848, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
