How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 52 = 51.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 51.48 ÷ 52 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/52, so part = 99 × 52 ÷ 100 = 51.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

51.48 is the 99% share of 52. The remaining 1% is 0.52, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $52 saves $51.48, so you pay $0.52.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 52 by 99% gives 103.48 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.52. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.0348, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
