How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
- Multiply: 0.46 × 100 = 46
- Check: Work backwards: 46 ÷ 100 × 100 = 46%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/100, so part = 46 × 100 ÷ 100 = 46. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =46%*100. 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 46%
Increasing 100 by 46% gives 146 and decreasing it by 46% gives 54. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 78.84, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
