How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 45 = 8.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.1 ÷ 45 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/45, so part = 18 × 45 ÷ 100 = 8.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*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

8.1 is the 18% share of 45. The remaining 82% is 36.9, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $45 saves $8.1, so you pay $36.9.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 45 by 18% gives 53.1 and decreasing it by 18% gives 36.9. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 43.542, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
