How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 1 = 0.38
- Check: Work backwards: 0.38 ÷ 1 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/1, so part = 38 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.38. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*1. 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
0.38 is the 38% share of 1. The remaining 62% is 0.62, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 38% off an item priced $1 saves $0.38, so you pay $0.62.
Adding and taking away 38%
Increasing 1 by 38% gives 1.38 and decreasing it by 38% gives 0.62. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 0.8556, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
