How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 36 = 31.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.68 ÷ 36 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/36, so part = 88 × 36 ÷ 100 = 31.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*36. 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

31.68 is the 88% share of 36. The remaining 12% is 4.32, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $36 saves $31.68, so you pay $4.32.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 36 by 88% gives 67.68 and decreasing it by 88% gives 4.32. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 8.1216, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
