How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 28 = 23.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.52 ÷ 28 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/28, so part = 84 × 28 ÷ 100 = 23.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*28. 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

23.52 is the 84% share of 28. The remaining 16% is 4.48, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $28 saves $23.52, so you pay $4.48.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 28 by 84% gives 51.52 and decreasing it by 84% gives 4.48. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 8.2432, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
