How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 48 = 46.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.56 ÷ 48 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/48, so part = 97 × 48 ÷ 100 = 46.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

46.56 is the 97% share of 48. The remaining 3% is 1.44, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $48 saves $46.56, so you pay $1.44.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 48 by 97% gives 94.56 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.44. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.8368, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
