How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 90 = 34.2
- Check: Work backwards: 34.2 ÷ 90 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/90, so part = 38 × 90 ÷ 100 = 34.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*90. 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
34.2 is the 38% share of 90. The remaining 62% is 55.8, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Adding and taking away 38%
Increasing 90 by 38% gives 124.2 and decreasing it by 38% gives 55.8. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 77.004, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
