How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 7 = 6.16
- Check: Work backwards: 6.16 ÷ 7 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/7, so part = 88 × 7 ÷ 100 = 6.16. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*7. 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
6.16 is the 88% share of 7. The remaining 12% is 0.84, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 88% off an item priced $7 saves $6.16, so you pay $0.84.
Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 7 by 88% gives 13.16 and decreasing it by 88% gives 0.84. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 1.5792, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
