How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
  2. Multiply: 0.54 × 45 = 24.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.3 ÷ 45 × 100 = 54%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/45, so part = 54 × 45 ÷ 100 = 24.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54%*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

24.3 is the 54% share of 45. The remaining 46% is 20.7, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 54% off an item priced $45 saves $24.3, so you pay $20.7.

Adding and taking away 54%

Increasing 45 by 54% gives 69.3 and decreasing it by 54% gives 20.7. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 31.878, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
