How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 90 = 25.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.2 ÷ 90 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/90, so part = 28 × 90 ÷ 100 = 25.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*90. 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

25.2 is the 28% share of 90. The remaining 72% is 64.8, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $90 saves $25.2, so you pay $64.8.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 90 by 28% gives 115.2 and decreasing it by 28% gives 64.8. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 82.944, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
