How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 63 = 23.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.94 ÷ 63 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/63, so part = 38 × 63 ÷ 100 = 23.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*63. 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

23.94 is the 38% share of 63. The remaining 62% is 39.06, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $63 saves $23.94, so you pay $39.06.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 63 by 38% gives 86.94 and decreasing it by 38% gives 39.06. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 53.9028, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
