How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 55 = 28.6
- Check: Work backwards: 28.6 ÷ 55 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/55, so part = 52 × 55 ÷ 100 = 28.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*55. 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
28.6 is the 52% share of 55. The remaining 48% is 26.4, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 55 by 52% gives 83.6 and decreasing it by 52% gives 26.4. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 40.128, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
