How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 38 = 12.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.54 ÷ 38 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/38, so part = 33 × 38 ÷ 100 = 12.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*38. 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

12.54 is the 33% share of 38. The remaining 67% is 25.46, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $38 saves $12.54, so you pay $25.46.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 38 by 33% gives 50.54 and decreasing it by 33% gives 25.46. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 33.8618, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
