How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 88 = 80.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.08 ÷ 88 × 100 = 91%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =91%*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

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

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $88 saves $80.08, so you pay $7.92.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 88 by 91% gives 168.08 and decreasing it by 91% gives 7.92. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 15.1272, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
