How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 1 = 0.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.45 ÷ 1 × 100 = 45%.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*1. 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

0.45 is the 45% share of 1. The remaining 55% is 0.55, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $1 saves $0.45, so you pay $0.55.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 1 by 45% gives 1.45 and decreasing it by 45% gives 0.55. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 0.7975, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
