How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 88 = 31.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.68 ÷ 88 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/88, so part = 36 × 88 ÷ 100 = 31.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

31.68 is the 36% share of 88. The remaining 64% is 56.32, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $88 saves $31.68, so you pay $56.32.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 88 by 36% gives 119.68 and decreasing it by 36% gives 56.32. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 76.5952, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
