How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Multiply: 0.75 × 48 = 36
- Check: Work backwards: 36 ÷ 48 × 100 = 75%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/48, so part = 75 × 48 ÷ 100 = 36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =75%*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
36 is the 75% share of 48. The remaining 25% is 12, and the two parts add back up to 48.
Discounts: 75% off an item priced $48 saves $36, so you pay $12.
Adding and taking away 75%
Increasing 48 by 75% gives 84 and decreasing it by 75% gives 12. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 21, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
