How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 33 = 9.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.24 ÷ 33 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/33, so part = 28 × 33 ÷ 100 = 9.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*33. 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

9.24 is the 28% share of 33. The remaining 72% is 23.76, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $33 saves $9.24, so you pay $23.76.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 33 by 28% gives 42.24 and decreasing it by 28% gives 23.76. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 30.4128, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
