How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
- Multiply: 0.45 × 81 = 36.45
- Check: Work backwards: 36.45 ÷ 81 × 100 = 45%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/81, so part = 45 × 81 ÷ 100 = 36.45. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =45%*81. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 45%
Increasing 81 by 45% gives 117.45 and decreasing it by 45% gives 44.55. These do not cancel out: raising 81 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 64.5975, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
