How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 52 = 49.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 49.92 ÷ 52 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/52, so part = 96 × 52 ÷ 100 = 49.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*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

49.92 is the 96% share of 52. The remaining 4% is 2.08, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $52 saves $49.92, so you pay $2.08.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 52 by 96% gives 101.92 and decreasing it by 96% gives 2.08. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 4.0768, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
