How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
- Multiply: 0.48 × 85 = 40.8
- Check: Work backwards: 40.8 ÷ 85 × 100 = 48%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/85, so part = 48 × 85 ÷ 100 = 40.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =48%*85. 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 85 by 48% gives 125.8 and decreasing it by 48% gives 44.2. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 65.416, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
