How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 48 = 47.52
- Check: Work backwards: 47.52 ÷ 48 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/48, so part = 99 × 48 ÷ 100 = 47.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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
47.52 is the 99% share of 48. The remaining 1% is 0.48, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 48 by 99% gives 95.52 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.48. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.9552, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
