How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 74 = 33.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.3 ÷ 74 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/74, so part = 45 × 74 ÷ 100 = 33.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*74. 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

33.3 is the 45% share of 74. The remaining 55% is 40.7, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $74 saves $33.3, so you pay $40.7.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 74 by 45% gives 107.3 and decreasing it by 45% gives 40.7. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 59.015, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
