How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 88 = 42.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.24 ÷ 88 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/88, so part = 48 × 88 ÷ 100 = 42.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

42.24 is the 48% share of 88. The remaining 52% is 45.76, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $88 saves $42.24, so you pay $45.76.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 88 by 48% gives 130.24 and decreasing it by 48% gives 45.76. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 67.7248, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
