How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 7 = 1.96
- Check: Work backwards: 1.96 ÷ 7 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/7, so part = 28 × 7 ÷ 100 = 1.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*7. 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
1.96 is the 28% share of 7. The remaining 72% is 5.04, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 28% off an item priced $7 saves $1.96, so you pay $5.04.
Adding and taking away 28%
Increasing 7 by 28% gives 8.96 and decreasing it by 28% gives 5.04. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 6.4512, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
