How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 88 = 77.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 77.44 ÷ 88 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/88, so part = 88 × 88 ÷ 100 = 77.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*88. 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

77.44 is the 88% share of 88. The remaining 12% is 10.56, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $88 saves $77.44, so you pay $10.56.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 88 by 88% gives 165.44 and decreasing it by 88% gives 10.56. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 19.8528, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
