How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 60 = 22.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.8 ÷ 60 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/60, so part = 38 × 60 ÷ 100 = 22.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*60. 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

22.8 is the 38% share of 60. The remaining 62% is 37.2, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $60 saves $22.8, so you pay $37.2.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 60 by 38% gives 82.8 and decreasing it by 38% gives 37.2. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 51.336, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
