How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 52 = 8.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.32 ÷ 52 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/52, so part = 16 × 52 ÷ 100 = 8.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*52. 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

8.32 is the 16% share of 52. The remaining 84% is 43.68, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $52 saves $8.32, so you pay $43.68.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 52 by 16% gives 60.32 and decreasing it by 16% gives 43.68. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 50.6688, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
