How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 10 = 5.2
- Check: Work backwards: 5.2 ÷ 10 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/10, so part = 52 × 10 ÷ 100 = 5.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*10. 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
5.2 is the 52% share of 10. The remaining 48% is 4.8, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 52% off an item priced $10 saves $5.2, so you pay $4.8.
Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 10 by 52% gives 15.2 and decreasing it by 52% gives 4.8. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 7.296, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
