How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 48 = 46.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.08 ÷ 48 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/48, so part = 96 × 48 ÷ 100 = 46.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*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

46.08 is the 96% share of 48. The remaining 4% is 1.92, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $48 saves $46.08, so you pay $1.92.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 48 by 96% gives 94.08 and decreasing it by 96% gives 1.92. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 3.7632, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
