How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 28 = 12.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.88 ÷ 28 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/28, so part = 46 × 28 ÷ 100 = 12.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*28. 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

12.88 is the 46% share of 28. The remaining 54% is 15.12, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $28 saves $12.88, so you pay $15.12.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 28 by 46% gives 40.88 and decreasing it by 46% gives 15.12. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 22.0752, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
