How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 7 = 3.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.22 ÷ 7 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/7, so part = 46 × 7 ÷ 100 = 3.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*7. 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

3.22 is the 46% share of 7. The remaining 54% is 3.78, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $7 saves $3.22, so you pay $3.78.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 7 by 46% gives 10.22 and decreasing it by 46% gives 3.78. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 5.5188, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
