How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 58 = 51.04
- Check: Work backwards: 51.04 ÷ 58 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/58, so part = 88 × 58 ÷ 100 = 51.04. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*58. 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

Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 58 by 88% gives 109.04 and decreasing it by 88% gives 6.96. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 13.0848, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
