How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Multiply: 0.75 × 88 = 66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 66 ÷ 88 × 100 = 75%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/88, so part = 75 × 88 ÷ 100 = 66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75%*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

66 is the 75% share of 88. The remaining 25% is 22, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 75% off an item priced $88 saves $66, so you pay $22.

Adding and taking away 75%

Increasing 88 by 75% gives 154 and decreasing it by 75% gives 22. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 38.5, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
