How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 88 = 45.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.76 ÷ 88 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/88, so part = 52 × 88 ÷ 100 = 45.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*88. 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

45.76 is the 52% share of 88. The remaining 48% is 42.24, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $88 saves $45.76, so you pay $42.24.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 88 by 52% gives 133.76 and decreasing it by 52% gives 42.24. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 64.2048, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
