How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 88 = 32.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.56 ÷ 88 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/88, so part = 37 × 88 ÷ 100 = 32.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*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

32.56 is the 37% share of 88. The remaining 63% is 55.44, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $88 saves $32.56, so you pay $55.44.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 88 by 37% gives 120.56 and decreasing it by 37% gives 55.44. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 75.9528, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
