How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 88 = 39.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.6 ÷ 88 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/88, so part = 45 × 88 ÷ 100 = 39.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*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

39.6 is the 45% share of 88. The remaining 55% is 48.4, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $88 saves $39.6, so you pay $48.4.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 88 by 45% gives 127.6 and decreasing it by 45% gives 48.4. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 70.18, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
