How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 44 ÷ 100 = 0.44
  2. Multiply: 0.44 × 20 = 8.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.8 ÷ 20 × 100 = 44%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 44/100 = part/20, so part = 44 × 20 ÷ 100 = 8.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =44%*20. 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

8.8 is the 44% share of 20. The remaining 56% is 11.2, and the two parts add back up to 20.

Discounts: 44% off an item priced $20 saves $8.8, so you pay $11.2.

Adding and taking away 44%

Increasing 20 by 44% gives 28.8 and decreasing it by 44% gives 11.2. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 44% and then lowering the result by 44% ends at 16.128, because the second 44% is taken of a bigger number.
