How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 88 = 54.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.56 ÷ 88 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/88, so part = 62 × 88 ÷ 100 = 54.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*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

54.56 is the 62% share of 88. The remaining 38% is 33.44, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $88 saves $54.56, so you pay $33.44.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 88 by 62% gives 142.56 and decreasing it by 62% gives 33.44. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 54.1728, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
