How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 88 = 29.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.04 ÷ 88 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/88, so part = 33 × 88 ÷ 100 = 29.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

29.04 is the 33% share of 88. The remaining 67% is 58.96, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $88 saves $29.04, so you pay $58.96.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 88 by 33% gives 117.04 and decreasing it by 33% gives 58.96. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 78.4168, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
