How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 32 = 15.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.36 ÷ 32 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/32, so part = 48 × 32 ÷ 100 = 15.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*32. 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

15.36 is the 48% share of 32. The remaining 52% is 16.64, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $32 saves $15.36, so you pay $16.64.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 32 by 48% gives 47.36 and decreasing it by 48% gives 16.64. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 24.6272, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
