How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 48 = 24.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.96 ÷ 48 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/48, so part = 52 × 48 ÷ 100 = 24.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*48. 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

24.96 is the 52% share of 48. The remaining 48% is 23.04, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $48 saves $24.96, so you pay $23.04.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 48 by 52% gives 72.96 and decreasing it by 52% gives 23.04. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 35.0208, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
