How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 91 = 80.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.08 ÷ 91 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/91, so part = 88 × 91 ÷ 100 = 80.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*91. 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

80.08 is the 88% share of 91. The remaining 12% is 10.92, and the two parts add back up to 91.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $91 saves $80.08, so you pay $10.92.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 91 by 88% gives 171.08 and decreasing it by 88% gives 10.92. These do not cancel out: raising 91 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 20.5296, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
