How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 85 = 44.2
- Check: Work backwards: 44.2 ÷ 85 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/85, so part = 52 × 85 ÷ 100 = 44.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*85. 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
44.2 is the 52% share of 85. The remaining 48% is 40.8, and the two parts add back up to 85.

Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 85 by 52% gives 129.2 and decreasing it by 52% gives 40.8. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 62.016, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
