How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 49 = 43.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.12 ÷ 49 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/49, so part = 88 × 49 ÷ 100 = 43.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*49. 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

43.12 is the 88% share of 49. The remaining 12% is 5.88, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $49 saves $43.12, so you pay $5.88.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 49 by 88% gives 92.12 and decreasing it by 88% gives 5.88. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 11.0544, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
