How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
- Multiply: 0.48 × 51 = 24.48
- Check: Work backwards: 24.48 ÷ 51 × 100 = 48%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/51, so part = 48 × 51 ÷ 100 = 24.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =48%*51. 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
24.48 is the 48% share of 51. The remaining 52% is 26.52, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Adding and taking away 48%
Increasing 51 by 48% gives 75.48 and decreasing it by 48% gives 26.52. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 39.2496, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
