How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 49 = 25.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.48 ÷ 49 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/49, so part = 52 × 49 ÷ 100 = 25.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*49. 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

25.48 is the 52% share of 49. The remaining 48% is 23.52, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $49 saves $25.48, so you pay $23.52.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 49 by 52% gives 74.48 and decreasing it by 52% gives 23.52. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 35.7504, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
