How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 88 = 7.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.92 ÷ 88 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/88, so part = 9 × 88 ÷ 100 = 7.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*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

7.92 is the 9% share of 88. The remaining 91% is 80.08, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $88 saves $7.92, so you pay $80.08.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 88 by 9% gives 95.92 and decreasing it by 9% gives 80.08. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 87.2872, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
