How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 28 = 17.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.64 ÷ 28 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/28, so part = 63 × 28 ÷ 100 = 17.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

17.64 is the 63% share of 28. The remaining 37% is 10.36, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $28 saves $17.64, so you pay $10.36.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 28 by 63% gives 45.64 and decreasing it by 63% gives 10.36. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 16.8868, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
