How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 33 = 15.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.84 ÷ 33 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/33, so part = 48 × 33 ÷ 100 = 15.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*33. 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

15.84 is the 48% share of 33. The remaining 52% is 17.16, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $33 saves $15.84, so you pay $17.16.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 33 by 48% gives 48.84 and decreasing it by 48% gives 17.16. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 25.3968, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
