How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 28 = 10.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.08 ÷ 28 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/28, so part = 36 × 28 ÷ 100 = 10.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

10.08 is the 36% share of 28. The remaining 64% is 17.92, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $28 saves $10.08, so you pay $17.92.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 28 by 36% gives 38.08 and decreasing it by 36% gives 17.92. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 24.3712, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
