How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 48 = 34.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.08 ÷ 48 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/48, so part = 71 × 48 ÷ 100 = 34.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

34.08 is the 71% share of 48. The remaining 29% is 13.92, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $48 saves $34.08, so you pay $13.92.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 48 by 71% gives 82.08 and decreasing it by 71% gives 13.92. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 23.8032, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
