How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
- Multiply: 0.48 × 70 = 33.6
- Check: Work backwards: 33.6 ÷ 70 × 100 = 48%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/70, so part = 48 × 70 ÷ 100 = 33.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =48%*70. 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
33.6 is the 48% share of 70. The remaining 52% is 36.4, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 48% off an item priced $70 saves $33.6, so you pay $36.4.
Adding and taking away 48%
Increasing 70 by 48% gives 103.6 and decreasing it by 48% gives 36.4. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 53.872, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
