How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 51 = 44.88
- Check: Work backwards: 44.88 ÷ 51 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/51, so part = 88 × 51 ÷ 100 = 44.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*51. 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

Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 51 by 88% gives 95.88 and decreasing it by 88% gives 6.12. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 11.5056, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
