How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 60 = 52.8
- Check: Work backwards: 52.8 ÷ 60 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/60, so part = 88 × 60 ÷ 100 = 52.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*60. 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
52.8 is the 88% share of 60. The remaining 12% is 7.2, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 88% off an item priced $60 saves $52.8, so you pay $7.2.
Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 60 by 88% gives 112.8 and decreasing it by 88% gives 7.2. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 13.536, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
