How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 1 = 0.54
- Check: Work backwards: 0.54 ÷ 1 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/1, so part = 54 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.54. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*1. 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
0.54 is the 54% share of 1. The remaining 46% is 0.46, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 54% off an item priced $1 saves $0.54, so you pay $0.46.
Adding and taking away 54%
Increasing 1 by 54% gives 1.54 and decreasing it by 54% gives 0.46. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 0.7084, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
