How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 38 = 36.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.48 ÷ 38 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/38, so part = 96 × 38 ÷ 100 = 36.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*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

36.48 is the 96% share of 38. The remaining 4% is 1.52, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $38 saves $36.48, so you pay $1.52.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 38 by 96% gives 74.48 and decreasing it by 96% gives 1.52. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 2.9792, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
