How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
- Multiply: 0.45 × 78 = 35.1
- Check: Work backwards: 35.1 ÷ 78 × 100 = 45%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/78, so part = 45 × 78 ÷ 100 = 35.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =45%*78. 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
35.1 is the 45% share of 78. The remaining 55% is 42.9, and the two parts add back up to 78.

Adding and taking away 45%
Increasing 78 by 45% gives 113.1 and decreasing it by 45% gives 42.9. These do not cancel out: raising 78 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 62.205, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
