How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 52 = 40.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.04 ÷ 52 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/52, so part = 77 × 52 ÷ 100 = 40.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*52. 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

40.04 is the 77% share of 52. The remaining 23% is 11.96, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $52 saves $40.04, so you pay $11.96.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 52 by 77% gives 92.04 and decreasing it by 77% gives 11.96. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 21.1692, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
