How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 71 = 62.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 62.48 ÷ 71 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/71, so part = 88 × 71 ÷ 100 = 62.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*71. 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

62.48 is the 88% share of 71. The remaining 12% is 8.52, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $71 saves $62.48, so you pay $8.52.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 71 by 88% gives 133.48 and decreasing it by 88% gives 8.52. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 16.0176, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
