How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 35 = 9.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.8 ÷ 35 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/35, so part = 28 × 35 ÷ 100 = 9.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*35. 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

9.8 is the 28% share of 35. The remaining 72% is 25.2, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $35 saves $9.8, so you pay $25.2.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 35 by 28% gives 44.8 and decreasing it by 28% gives 25.2. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 32.256, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
