How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 59 = 30.68
- Check: Work backwards: 30.68 ÷ 59 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/59, so part = 52 × 59 ÷ 100 = 30.68. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*59. 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

Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 59 by 52% gives 89.68 and decreasing it by 52% gives 28.32. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 43.0464, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
