How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 80 = 70.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 70.4 ÷ 80 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/80, so part = 88 × 80 ÷ 100 = 70.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*80. 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

70.4 is the 88% share of 80. The remaining 12% is 9.6, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $80 saves $70.4, so you pay $9.6.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 80 by 88% gives 150.4 and decreasing it by 88% gives 9.6. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 18.048, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
