How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 63 = 28.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.98 ÷ 63 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/63, so part = 46 × 63 ÷ 100 = 28.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*63. 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

28.98 is the 46% share of 63. The remaining 54% is 34.02, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $63 saves $28.98, so you pay $34.02.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 63 by 46% gives 91.98 and decreasing it by 46% gives 34.02. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 49.6692, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
