How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 75 = 66
- Check: Work backwards: 66 ÷ 75 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/75, so part = 88 × 75 ÷ 100 = 66. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*75. 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
66 is the 88% share of 75. The remaining 12% is 9, and the two parts add back up to 75.
Discounts: 88% off an item priced $75 saves $66, so you pay $9.
Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 75 by 88% gives 141 and decreasing it by 88% gives 9. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 16.92, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
