How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 15 = 13.2
- Check: Work backwards: 13.2 ÷ 15 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/15, so part = 88 × 15 ÷ 100 = 13.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*15. 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
13.2 is the 88% share of 15. The remaining 12% is 1.8, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 88% off an item priced $15 saves $13.2, so you pay $1.8.
Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 15 by 88% gives 28.2 and decreasing it by 88% gives 1.8. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 3.384, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
