How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 88 = 33.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.44 ÷ 88 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/88, so part = 38 × 88 ÷ 100 = 33.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*88. 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

33.44 is the 38% share of 88. The remaining 62% is 54.56, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $88 saves $33.44, so you pay $54.56.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 88 by 38% gives 121.44 and decreasing it by 38% gives 54.56. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 75.2928, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
