How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 88 = 40.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.48 ÷ 88 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/88, so part = 46 × 88 ÷ 100 = 40.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*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

40.48 is the 46% share of 88. The remaining 54% is 47.52, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $88 saves $40.48, so you pay $47.52.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 88 by 46% gives 128.48 and decreasing it by 46% gives 47.52. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 69.3792, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
