How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
  2. Multiply: 0.54 × 48 = 25.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.92 ÷ 48 × 100 = 54%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/48, so part = 54 × 48 ÷ 100 = 25.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54%*48. 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

25.92 is the 54% share of 48. The remaining 46% is 22.08, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 54% off an item priced $48 saves $25.92, so you pay $22.08.

Adding and taking away 54%

Increasing 48 by 54% gives 73.92 and decreasing it by 54% gives 22.08. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 34.0032, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
