How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 28 = 9.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.8 ÷ 28 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/28, so part = 35 × 28 ÷ 100 = 9.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*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

9.8 is the 35% share of 28. The remaining 65% is 18.2, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $28 saves $9.8, so you pay $18.2.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 28 by 35% gives 37.8 and decreasing it by 35% gives 18.2. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 24.57, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
