How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 46 = 5.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.98 ÷ 46 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/46, so part = 13 × 46 ÷ 100 = 5.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*46. 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

5.98 is the 13% share of 46. The remaining 87% is 40.02, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $46 saves $5.98, so you pay $40.02.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 46 by 13% gives 51.98 and decreasing it by 13% gives 40.02. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 45.2226, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
