How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 38 = 18.62
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.62 ÷ 38 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/38, so part = 49 × 38 ÷ 100 = 18.62. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*38. 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

18.62 is the 49% share of 38. The remaining 51% is 19.38, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $38 saves $18.62, so you pay $19.38.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 38 by 49% gives 56.62 and decreasing it by 49% gives 19.38. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 28.8762, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
