How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 88 = 51.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 51.04 ÷ 88 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/88, so part = 58 × 88 ÷ 100 = 51.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

51.04 is the 58% share of 88. The remaining 42% is 36.96, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $88 saves $51.04, so you pay $36.96.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 88 by 58% gives 139.04 and decreasing it by 58% gives 36.96. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 58.3968, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
