How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 84 = 40.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.32 ÷ 84 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/84, so part = 48 × 84 ÷ 100 = 40.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*84. 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

40.32 is the 48% share of 84. The remaining 52% is 43.68, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $84 saves $40.32, so you pay $43.68.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 84 by 48% gives 124.32 and decreasing it by 48% gives 43.68. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 64.6464, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
