How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 89 = 42.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.72 ÷ 89 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/89, so part = 48 × 89 ÷ 100 = 42.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*89. 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

42.72 is the 48% share of 89. The remaining 52% is 46.28, and the two parts add back up to 89.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $89 saves $42.72, so you pay $46.28.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 89 by 48% gives 131.72 and decreasing it by 48% gives 46.28. These do not cancel out: raising 89 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 68.4944, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
