How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 45 = 0.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.45 ÷ 45 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/45, so part = 1 × 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*45. 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

0.45 is the 1% share of 45. The remaining 99% is 44.55, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $45 saves $0.45, so you pay $44.55.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 45 by 1% gives 45.45 and decreasing it by 1% gives 44.55. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 44.9955, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
