How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
- Multiply: 0.55 × 46 = 25.3
- Check: Work backwards: 25.3 ÷ 46 × 100 = 55%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/46, so part = 55 × 46 ÷ 100 = 25.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =55%*46. 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
25.3 is the 55% share of 46. The remaining 45% is 20.7, and the two parts add back up to 46.
Discounts: 55% off an item priced $46 saves $25.3, so you pay $20.7.
Adding and taking away 55%
Increasing 46 by 55% gives 71.3 and decreasing it by 55% gives 20.7. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 32.085, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
