How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 36 = 18.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.72 ÷ 36 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/36, so part = 52 × 36 ÷ 100 = 18.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*36. 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

18.72 is the 52% share of 36. The remaining 48% is 17.28, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $36 saves $18.72, so you pay $17.28.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 36 by 52% gives 54.72 and decreasing it by 52% gives 17.28. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 26.2656, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
