How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 75 = 34.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.5 ÷ 75 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/75, so part = 46 × 75 ÷ 100 = 34.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*75. 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

34.5 is the 46% share of 75. The remaining 54% is 40.5, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $75 saves $34.5, so you pay $40.5.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 75 by 46% gives 109.5 and decreasing it by 46% gives 40.5. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 59.13, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
