How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 6 = 3.12
- Check: Work backwards: 3.12 ÷ 6 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/6, so part = 52 × 6 ÷ 100 = 3.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*6. 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
3.12 is the 52% share of 6. The remaining 48% is 2.88, and the two parts add back up to 6.
Discounts: 52% off an item priced $6 saves $3.12, so you pay $2.88.
Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 6 by 52% gives 9.12 and decreasing it by 52% gives 2.88. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 4.3776, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
