How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 25 = 11.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.5 ÷ 25 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/25, so part = 46 × 25 ÷ 100 = 11.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*25. 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

11.5 is the 46% share of 25. The remaining 54% is 13.5, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $25 saves $11.5, so you pay $13.5.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 25 by 46% gives 36.5 and decreasing it by 46% gives 13.5. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 19.71, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
