How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 83 = 73.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.04 ÷ 83 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/83, so part = 88 × 83 ÷ 100 = 73.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*83. 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

73.04 is the 88% share of 83. The remaining 12% is 9.96, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $83 saves $73.04, so you pay $9.96.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 83 by 88% gives 156.04 and decreasing it by 88% gives 9.96. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 18.7248, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
