How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
- Multiply: 0.48 × 53 = 25.44
- Check: Work backwards: 25.44 ÷ 53 × 100 = 48%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/53, so part = 48 × 53 ÷ 100 = 25.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =48%*53. 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

Adding and taking away 48%
Increasing 53 by 48% gives 78.44 and decreasing it by 48% gives 27.56. These do not cancel out: raising 53 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 40.7888, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
