How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 27 = 14.04
- Check: Work backwards: 14.04 ÷ 27 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/27, so part = 52 × 27 ÷ 100 = 14.04. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*27. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
