How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 88 = 6.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.16 ÷ 88 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/88, so part = 7 × 88 ÷ 100 = 6.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

6.16 is the 7% share of 88. The remaining 93% is 81.84, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $88 saves $6.16, so you pay $81.84.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 88 by 7% gives 94.16 and decreasing it by 7% gives 81.84. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 87.5688, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
