How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 96 = 26.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.88 ÷ 96 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/96, so part = 28 × 96 ÷ 100 = 26.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*96. 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

26.88 is the 28% share of 96. The remaining 72% is 69.12, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $96 saves $26.88, so you pay $69.12.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 96 by 28% gives 122.88 and decreasing it by 28% gives 69.12. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 88.4736, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
