How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 45 = 11.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.7 ÷ 45 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/45, so part = 26 × 45 ÷ 100 = 11.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

11.7 is the 26% share of 45. The remaining 74% is 33.3, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $45 saves $11.7, so you pay $33.3.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 45 by 26% gives 56.7 and decreasing it by 26% gives 33.3. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 41.958, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
