How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 87 = 76.56
- Check: Work backwards: 76.56 ÷ 87 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/87, so part = 88 × 87 ÷ 100 = 76.56. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*87. 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
76.56 is the 88% share of 87. The remaining 12% is 10.44, and the two parts add back up to 87.

Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 87 by 88% gives 163.56 and decreasing it by 88% gives 10.44. These do not cancel out: raising 87 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 19.6272, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
