How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 90 = 46.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.8 ÷ 90 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/90, so part = 52 × 90 ÷ 100 = 46.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*90. 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

46.8 is the 52% share of 90. The remaining 48% is 43.2, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $90 saves $46.8, so you pay $43.2.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 90 by 52% gives 136.8 and decreasing it by 52% gives 43.2. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 65.664, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
