How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 48 = 17.28
- Check: Work backwards: 17.28 ÷ 48 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/48, so part = 36 × 48 ÷ 100 = 17.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*48. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 48 by 36% gives 65.28 and decreasing it by 36% gives 30.72. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 41.7792, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
