How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 96 = 43.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.2 ÷ 96 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/96, so part = 45 × 96 ÷ 100 = 43.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*96. 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

43.2 is the 45% share of 96. The remaining 55% is 52.8, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $96 saves $43.2, so you pay $52.8.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 96 by 45% gives 139.2 and decreasing it by 45% gives 52.8. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 76.56, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
