How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 22 = 8.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.36 ÷ 22 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/22, so part = 38 × 22 ÷ 100 = 8.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*22. 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

8.36 is the 38% share of 22. The remaining 62% is 13.64, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $22 saves $8.36, so you pay $13.64.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 22 by 38% gives 30.36 and decreasing it by 38% gives 13.64. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 18.8232, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
