How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 52 = 23.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.4 ÷ 52 × 100 = 45%.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*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.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 52 by 45% gives 75.4 and decreasing it by 45% gives 28.6. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 41.47, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
