How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 28 = 8.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.96 ÷ 28 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/28, so part = 32 × 28 ÷ 100 = 8.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*28. 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

8.96 is the 32% share of 28. The remaining 68% is 19.04, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $28 saves $8.96, so you pay $19.04.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 28 by 32% gives 36.96 and decreasing it by 32% gives 19.04. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 25.1328, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
