How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 74 = 38.48
- Check: Work backwards: 38.48 ÷ 74 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/74, so part = 52 × 74 ÷ 100 = 38.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*74. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 74 by 52% gives 112.48 and decreasing it by 52% gives 35.52. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 53.9904, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
