How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 71 = 34.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.08 ÷ 71 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/71, so part = 48 × 71 ÷ 100 = 34.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*71. 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

34.08 is the 48% share of 71. The remaining 52% is 36.92, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $71 saves $34.08, so you pay $36.92.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 71 by 48% gives 105.08 and decreasing it by 48% gives 36.92. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 54.6416, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
