How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 52 = 19.76
- Check: Work backwards: 19.76 ÷ 52 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/52, so part = 38 × 52 ÷ 100 = 19.76. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*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.
