How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 77 = 40.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.04 ÷ 77 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/77, so part = 52 × 77 ÷ 100 = 40.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*77. 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

40.04 is the 52% share of 77. The remaining 48% is 36.96, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $77 saves $40.04, so you pay $36.96.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 77 by 52% gives 117.04 and decreasing it by 52% gives 36.96. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 56.1792, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
