How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Multiply: 0.75 × 38 = 28.5
- Check: Work backwards: 28.5 ÷ 38 × 100 = 75%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/38, so part = 75 × 38 ÷ 100 = 28.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =75%*38. 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
28.5 is the 75% share of 38. The remaining 25% is 9.5, and the two parts add back up to 38.
Discounts: 75% off an item priced $38 saves $28.5, so you pay $9.5.
Adding and taking away 75%
Increasing 38 by 75% gives 66.5 and decreasing it by 75% gives 9.5. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 16.625, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
