How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 28 = 13.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.44 ÷ 28 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/28, so part = 48 × 28 ÷ 100 = 13.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*28. 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

13.44 is the 48% share of 28. The remaining 52% is 14.56, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $28 saves $13.44, so you pay $14.56.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 28 by 48% gives 41.44 and decreasing it by 48% gives 14.56. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 21.5488, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
