How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 13 = 3.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.64 ÷ 13 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/13, so part = 28 × 13 ÷ 100 = 3.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*13. 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

3.64 is the 28% share of 13. The remaining 72% is 9.36, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $13 saves $3.64, so you pay $9.36.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 13 by 28% gives 16.64 and decreasing it by 28% gives 9.36. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 11.9808, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
