How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 88 = 64.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 64.24 ÷ 88 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/88, so part = 73 × 88 ÷ 100 = 64.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

64.24 is the 73% share of 88. The remaining 27% is 23.76, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $88 saves $64.24, so you pay $23.76.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 88 by 73% gives 152.24 and decreasing it by 73% gives 23.76. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 41.1048, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
