How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 45 = 13.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.95 ÷ 45 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/45, so part = 31 × 45 ÷ 100 = 13.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*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

13.95 is the 31% share of 45. The remaining 69% is 31.05, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $45 saves $13.95, so you pay $31.05.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 45 by 31% gives 58.95 and decreasing it by 31% gives 31.05. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 40.6755, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
