How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 28 = 10.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.64 ÷ 28 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/28, so part = 38 × 28 ÷ 100 = 10.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*28. 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

10.64 is the 38% share of 28. The remaining 62% is 17.36, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $28 saves $10.64, so you pay $17.36.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 28 by 38% gives 38.64 and decreasing it by 38% gives 17.36. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 23.9568, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
