How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 46 = 6.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.44 ÷ 46 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/46, so part = 14 × 46 ÷ 100 = 6.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

6.44 is the 14% share of 46. The remaining 86% is 39.56, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $46 saves $6.44, so you pay $39.56.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 46 by 14% gives 52.44 and decreasing it by 14% gives 39.56. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 45.0984, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
