How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 88 = 37.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.84 ÷ 88 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/88, so part = 43 × 88 ÷ 100 = 37.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*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

37.84 is the 43% share of 88. The remaining 57% is 50.16, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $88 saves $37.84, so you pay $50.16.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 88 by 43% gives 125.84 and decreasing it by 43% gives 50.16. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 71.7288, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
