How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 450 = 45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45 ÷ 450 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/450, so part = 10 × 450 ÷ 100 = 45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*450. 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

45 is the 10% share of 450. The remaining 90% is 405, and the two parts add back up to 450.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $450 saves $45, so you pay $405.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 450 by 10% gives 495 and decreasing it by 10% gives 405. These do not cancel out: raising 450 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 445.5, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
