How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 52 = 50.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 50.44 ÷ 52 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/52, so part = 97 × 52 ÷ 100 = 50.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

50.44 is the 97% share of 52. The remaining 3% is 1.56, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $52 saves $50.44, so you pay $1.56.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 52 by 97% gives 102.44 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.56. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.0732, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
