How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 53 ÷ 100 = 0.53
- Multiply: 0.53 × 45 = 23.85
- Check: Work backwards: 23.85 ÷ 45 × 100 = 53%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/100 = part/45, so part = 53 × 45 ÷ 100 = 23.85. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =53%*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
23.85 is the 53% share of 45. The remaining 47% is 21.15, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Adding and taking away 53%
Increasing 45 by 53% gives 68.85 and decreasing it by 53% gives 21.15. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 53% and then lowering the result by 53% ends at 32.3595, because the second 53% is taken of a bigger number.
