How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 46 = 11.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.5 ÷ 46 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/46, so part = 25 × 46 ÷ 100 = 11.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*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

11.5 is the 25% share of 46. The remaining 75% is 34.5, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $46 saves $11.5, so you pay $34.5.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 46 by 25% gives 57.5 and decreasing it by 25% gives 34.5. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 43.125, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
