How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 35 = 30.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.8 ÷ 35 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/35, so part = 88 × 35 ÷ 100 = 30.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*35. 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

30.8 is the 88% share of 35. The remaining 12% is 4.2, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $35 saves $30.8, so you pay $4.2.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 35 by 88% gives 65.8 and decreasing it by 88% gives 4.2. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 7.896, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
