How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
- Multiply: 0.48 × 3 = 1.44
- Check: Work backwards: 1.44 ÷ 3 × 100 = 48%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/3, so part = 48 × 3 ÷ 100 = 1.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =48%*3. 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
1.44 is the 48% share of 3. The remaining 52% is 1.56, and the two parts add back up to 3.
Discounts: 48% off an item priced $3 saves $1.44, so you pay $1.56.
Adding and taking away 48%
Increasing 3 by 48% gives 4.44 and decreasing it by 48% gives 1.56. These do not cancel out: raising 3 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 2.3088, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
