How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 25 = 9.5
- Check: Work backwards: 9.5 ÷ 25 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/25, so part = 38 × 25 ÷ 100 = 9.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*25. 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
9.5 is the 38% share of 25. The remaining 62% is 15.5, and the two parts add back up to 25.
Discounts: 38% off an item priced $25 saves $9.5, so you pay $15.5.
Adding and taking away 38%
Increasing 25 by 38% gives 34.5 and decreasing it by 38% gives 15.5. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 21.39, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
