How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 32 = 14.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.4 ÷ 32 × 100 = 45%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =45%*32. 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 45% share of 32. The remaining 55% is 17.6, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $32 saves $14.4, so you pay $17.6.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 32 by 45% gives 46.4 and decreasing it by 45% gives 17.6. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 25.52, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
