How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 45 = 15.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.3 ÷ 45 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/45, so part = 34 × 45 ÷ 100 = 15.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*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

15.3 is the 34% share of 45. The remaining 66% is 29.7, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $45 saves $15.3, so you pay $29.7.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 45 by 34% gives 60.3 and decreasing it by 34% gives 29.7. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 39.798, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
