How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 38 = 14.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.44 ÷ 38 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/38, so part = 38 × 38 ÷ 100 = 14.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*38. 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

14.44 is the 38% share of 38. The remaining 62% is 23.56, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $38 saves $14.44, so you pay $23.56.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 38 by 38% gives 52.44 and decreasing it by 38% gives 23.56. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 32.5128, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
