How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
  2. Multiply: 0.55 × 28 = 15.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.4 ÷ 28 × 100 = 55%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/28, so part = 55 × 28 ÷ 100 = 15.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55%*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

15.4 is the 55% share of 28. The remaining 45% is 12.6, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 55% off an item priced $28 saves $15.4, so you pay $12.6.

Adding and taking away 55%

Increasing 28 by 55% gives 43.4 and decreasing it by 55% gives 12.6. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 19.53, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
