How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 45 = 20.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.7 ÷ 45 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/45, so part = 46 × 45 ÷ 100 = 20.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*45. 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

20.7 is the 46% share of 45. The remaining 54% is 24.3, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $45 saves $20.7, so you pay $24.3.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 45 by 46% gives 65.7 and decreasing it by 46% gives 24.3. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 35.478, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
