How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 89 = 78.32
- Check: Work backwards: 78.32 ÷ 89 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/89, so part = 88 × 89 ÷ 100 = 78.32. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*89. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
