How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 96 = 84.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 84.48 ÷ 96 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/96, so part = 88 × 96 ÷ 100 = 84.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*96. 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

84.48 is the 88% share of 96. The remaining 12% is 11.52, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $96 saves $84.48, so you pay $11.52.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 96 by 88% gives 180.48 and decreasing it by 88% gives 11.52. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 21.6576, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
