How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 49 = 23.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.52 ÷ 49 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/49, so part = 48 × 49 ÷ 100 = 23.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*49. 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

23.52 is the 48% share of 49. The remaining 52% is 25.48, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $49 saves $23.52, so you pay $25.48.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 49 by 48% gives 72.52 and decreasing it by 48% gives 25.48. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 37.7104, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
