How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 45 = 15.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.75 ÷ 45 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/45, so part = 35 × 45 ÷ 100 = 15.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*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

15.75 is the 35% share of 45. The remaining 65% is 29.25, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $45 saves $15.75, so you pay $29.25.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 45 by 35% gives 60.75 and decreasing it by 35% gives 29.25. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 39.4875, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
