How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 45 = 20.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.25 ÷ 45 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/45, so part = 45 × 45 ÷ 100 = 20.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*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

20.25 is the 45% share of 45. The remaining 55% is 24.75, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $45 saves $20.25, so you pay $24.75.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 45 by 45% gives 65.25 and decreasing it by 45% gives 24.75. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 35.8875, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
