How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 45 = 4.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.95 ÷ 45 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/45, so part = 11 × 45 ÷ 100 = 4.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*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

4.95 is the 11% share of 45. The remaining 89% is 40.05, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $45 saves $4.95, so you pay $40.05.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 45 by 11% gives 49.95 and decreasing it by 11% gives 40.05. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 44.4555, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
