How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 39 ÷ 100 = 0.39
- Multiply: 0.39 × 52 = 20.28
- Check: Work backwards: 20.28 ÷ 52 × 100 = 39%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/100 = part/52, so part = 39 × 52 ÷ 100 = 20.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =39%*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

Adding and taking away 39%
Increasing 52 by 39% gives 72.28 and decreasing it by 39% gives 31.72. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 39% and then lowering the result by 39% ends at 44.0908, because the second 39% is taken of a bigger number.
