How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 7 = 3.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.36 ÷ 7 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/7, so part = 48 × 7 ÷ 100 = 3.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*7. 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

3.36 is the 48% share of 7. The remaining 52% is 3.64, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $7 saves $3.36, so you pay $3.64.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 7 by 48% gives 10.36 and decreasing it by 48% gives 3.64. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 5.3872, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
