How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 45 = 7.2
- Check: Work backwards: 7.2 ÷ 45 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/45, so part = 16 × 45 ÷ 100 = 7.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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
7.2 is the 16% share of 45. The remaining 84% is 37.8, and the two parts add back up to 45.
Discounts: 16% off an item priced $45 saves $7.2, so you pay $37.8.
Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 45 by 16% gives 52.2 and decreasing it by 16% gives 37.8. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 43.848, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
