How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 96 = 36.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.48 ÷ 96 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/96, so part = 38 × 96 ÷ 100 = 36.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*96. 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

36.48 is the 38% share of 96. The remaining 62% is 59.52, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $96 saves $36.48, so you pay $59.52.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 96 by 38% gives 132.48 and decreasing it by 38% gives 59.52. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 82.1376, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
