How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 10 = 4.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.6 ÷ 10 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/10, so part = 46 × 10 ÷ 100 = 4.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*10. 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

4.6 is the 46% share of 10. The remaining 54% is 5.4, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $10 saves $4.6, so you pay $5.4.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 10 by 46% gives 14.6 and decreasing it by 46% gives 5.4. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 7.884, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
