How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 88 = 24.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.64 ÷ 88 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/88, so part = 28 × 88 ÷ 100 = 24.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*88. 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

24.64 is the 28% share of 88. The remaining 72% is 63.36, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $88 saves $24.64, so you pay $63.36.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 88 by 28% gives 112.64 and decreasing it by 28% gives 63.36. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 81.1008, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
