How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 99 = 44.55
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.55 ÷ 99 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/99, so part = 45 × 99 ÷ 100 = 44.55. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*99. 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

44.55 is the 45% share of 99. The remaining 55% is 54.45, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $99 saves $44.55, so you pay $54.45.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 99 by 45% gives 143.55 and decreasing it by 45% gives 54.45. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 78.9525, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
