How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 57 = 29.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.64 ÷ 57 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/57, so part = 52 × 57 ÷ 100 = 29.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*57. 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

29.64 is the 52% share of 57. The remaining 48% is 27.36, and the two parts add back up to 57.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $57 saves $29.64, so you pay $27.36.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 57 by 52% gives 86.64 and decreasing it by 52% gives 27.36. These do not cancel out: raising 57 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 41.5872, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
