How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
- Multiply: 0.32 × 52 = 16.64
- Check: Work backwards: 16.64 ÷ 52 × 100 = 32%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/52, so part = 32 × 52 ÷ 100 = 16.64. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =32%*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
16.64 is the 32% share of 52. The remaining 68% is 35.36, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Adding and taking away 32%
Increasing 52 by 32% gives 68.64 and decreasing it by 32% gives 35.36. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 46.6752, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
