How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 45 = 16.2
- Check: Work backwards: 16.2 ÷ 45 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/45, so part = 36 × 45 ÷ 100 = 16.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*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
16.2 is the 36% share of 45. The remaining 64% is 28.8, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 45 by 36% gives 61.2 and decreasing it by 36% gives 28.8. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 39.168, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
