How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 45 = 14.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.4 ÷ 45 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/45, so part = 32 × 45 ÷ 100 = 14.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*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

14.4 is the 32% share of 45. The remaining 68% is 30.6, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $45 saves $14.4, so you pay $30.6.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 45 by 32% gives 59.4 and decreasing it by 32% gives 30.6. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 40.392, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
