How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 28 = 7.84
- Check: Work backwards: 7.84 ÷ 28 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/28, so part = 28 × 28 ÷ 100 = 7.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*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
7.84 is the 28% share of 28. The remaining 72% is 20.16, and the two parts add back up to 28.
Discounts: 28% off an item priced $28 saves $7.84, so you pay $20.16.
Adding and taking away 28%
Increasing 28 by 28% gives 35.84 and decreasing it by 28% gives 20.16. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 25.8048, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
