How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 25 = 7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7 ÷ 25 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/25, so part = 28 × 25 ÷ 100 = 7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*25. 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 28% share of 25. The remaining 72% is 18, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $25 saves $7, so you pay $18.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 25 by 28% gives 32 and decreasing it by 28% gives 18. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 23.04, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
