How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 83 = 43.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.16 ÷ 83 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/83, so part = 52 × 83 ÷ 100 = 43.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*83. 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

43.16 is the 52% share of 83. The remaining 48% is 39.84, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $83 saves $43.16, so you pay $39.84.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 83 by 52% gives 126.16 and decreasing it by 52% gives 39.84. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 60.5568, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
