How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 38 = 36.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.1 ÷ 38 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/38, so part = 95 × 38 ÷ 100 = 36.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*38. 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

36.1 is the 95% share of 38. The remaining 5% is 1.9, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $38 saves $36.1, so you pay $1.9.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 38 by 95% gives 74.1 and decreasing it by 95% gives 1.9. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 3.705, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
