How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 52 = 27.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.04 ÷ 52 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/52, so part = 52 × 52 ÷ 100 = 27.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*52. 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

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

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $52 saves $27.04, so you pay $24.96.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 52 by 52% gives 79.04 and decreasing it by 52% gives 24.96. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 37.9392, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
