How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
- Multiply: 0.46 × 55 = 25.3
- Check: Work backwards: 25.3 ÷ 55 × 100 = 46%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/55, so part = 46 × 55 ÷ 100 = 25.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =46%*55. 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
25.3 is the 46% share of 55. The remaining 54% is 29.7, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 46%
Increasing 55 by 46% gives 80.3 and decreasing it by 46% gives 29.7. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 43.362, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
