How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 48 = 30.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.24 ÷ 48 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/48, so part = 63 × 48 ÷ 100 = 30.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

30.24 is the 63% share of 48. The remaining 37% is 17.76, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $48 saves $30.24, so you pay $17.76.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 48 by 63% gives 78.24 and decreasing it by 63% gives 17.76. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 28.9488, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
