How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 52 = 24.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.44 ÷ 52 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/52, so part = 47 × 52 ÷ 100 = 24.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*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

24.44 is the 47% share of 52. The remaining 53% is 27.56, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $52 saves $24.44, so you pay $27.56.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 52 by 47% gives 76.44 and decreasing it by 47% gives 27.56. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 40.5132, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
