How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 88 = 55.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.44 ÷ 88 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/88, so part = 63 × 88 ÷ 100 = 55.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

55.44 is the 63% share of 88. The remaining 37% is 32.56, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $88 saves $55.44, so you pay $32.56.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 88 by 63% gives 143.44 and decreasing it by 63% gives 32.56. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 53.0728, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
