How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
  2. Multiply: 0.68 × 48 = 32.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.64 ÷ 48 × 100 = 68%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/48, so part = 68 × 48 ÷ 100 = 32.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68%*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

32.64 is the 68% share of 48. The remaining 32% is 15.36, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 68% off an item priced $48 saves $32.64, so you pay $15.36.

Adding and taking away 68%

Increasing 48 by 68% gives 80.64 and decreasing it by 68% gives 15.36. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 25.8048, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
