How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
- Multiply: 0.89 × 48 = 42.72
- Check: Work backwards: 42.72 ÷ 48 × 100 = 89%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/48, so part = 89 × 48 ÷ 100 = 42.72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =89%*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

Adding and taking away 89%
Increasing 48 by 89% gives 90.72 and decreasing it by 89% gives 5.28. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 89% and then lowering the result by 89% ends at 9.9792, because the second 89% is taken of a bigger number.
