How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 1 = 0.88
- Check: Work backwards: 0.88 ÷ 1 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/1, so part = 88 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*1. 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
0.88 is the 88% share of 1. The remaining 12% is 0.12, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 88% off an item priced $1 saves $0.88, so you pay $0.12.
Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 1 by 88% gives 1.88 and decreasing it by 88% gives 0.12. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 0.2256, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
