How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 52 = 17.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.16 ÷ 52 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/52, so part = 33 × 52 ÷ 100 = 17.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

17.16 is the 33% share of 52. The remaining 67% is 34.84, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $52 saves $17.16, so you pay $34.84.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 52 by 33% gives 69.16 and decreasing it by 33% gives 34.84. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 46.3372, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
