How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 77 = 34.65
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.65 ÷ 77 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/77, so part = 45 × 77 ÷ 100 = 34.65. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*77. 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

34.65 is the 45% share of 77. The remaining 55% is 42.35, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $77 saves $34.65, so you pay $42.35.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 77 by 45% gives 111.65 and decreasing it by 45% gives 42.35. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 61.4075, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
